Players saw Sargon perform parkour moves like wall jumps, flips, and double jumps to navigate through a level that needs precision and timing. The game features new Time Powers, a nostalgic take on the importance of Time in the Prince of Persia series. These powers will help Sargon unlock the secrets of Mount Qaf while on the quest to save the prince.
Platformers are games or a sub genre where players have to navigate across platforms by jumping, sliding, scaling, bouncing of walls and jumping across obstacles.
The clip impressed many fans, while some were left worried about being unable to get past such a level. The post from Ubisoft also stated, “Don’t panic, this part is optional… but a lot of fun!” to keep players from being demotivated by looking at the difficulty of the game.
