Prince of Persia: Warrior Within is a action-adventure and platforming video game sequel to the critically acclaimed Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Chronologically, it is the direct sequel to The Forgotten Sands. Released for Xbox, PlayStation 2, GameCube and Microsoft Windows on December 2, 2004, Warrior Within was developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft.

Warrior Within adds several new features to the base of its previous installment, the Sands of Time. Specifically, the options in combat are expanded, with the lack of the Dagger of Time, dual weapon wielding becomes a far more important part of battles thanks to the ability to steal enemies' weapons. Warrior Within has far darker tone than its predecessor with higher amounts of blood, sexuality and swearing and received a "Mature" rating from the ESRB due to the adult oriented content.
The game found greater sales success, though lower critical acclaim than its predecessor. As a result, a third game was produced and relate the following year. A port of Warrior Within, Prince of Persia: Revelations, was developed Pipeworks and released on December 6, 2005 for Sony's PlayStation Portable. The port includes additional content including three new areas not available in the original release. On November 19, 2010 and April 19th, 2011, Warrior Within was included in the "Prince of Persia Trilogy" alongside The Two Thrones and 'The Sands of Time in a HD Collection for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Network.

Gameplay

Much like the original Sands of Time game but with a few major differences. The Prince can wield two weapons and throw his secondary weapon, and pick up another one. He also has the ability to perform several combos and charge attacks. In addition, the Prince can use the environment to his advantage, such as by bouncing off of walls to attack enemies. The new gameplay system was dubbed the "Free-Form Fighting System".
The change in timelines also affects the environment in which the player traverses. The present is the ruined and half-destroyed Island of Time and the past is the beautiful and flourishing Island of Time.The player can shift between these two periods through a column of Sand of Time, called a Sand Portal.

Story

The Island of Time

Seven years after the Prince's adventure in India, the Prince seeks counsel from an old wise man. The Prince learns of the existence of the Island of Time rumored to be in the Persian gulf, but is nearly impossible to find. Thinking only of his survival, the Prince sets sail for the Island to prevent the Sands of Time from ever being created, under the belief that the Dahaka will have no reason to hunt him if he does so.
His vessel is destroyed by Shahdee and her army. Lost in the shipwreck, and he finds himself alone on the island. He picks a wooden stick from the wreckage of a boat to defend himself against some crows. He swears to kill Shahdee for what she has done to him and his crew.
The player follows a tutorial, and with some minor fights, reaches the bottom of the stairs leading to the Fortress of Time.
Shahdee tries to kill the Prince, but the Prince repels her by knocking her to the ground. After a fight with several opponents he obtains the Spider Sword and begins chasing Shahdee through the Island until they reach a Time Portal. She goes through a Time Portal, and the Prince follows her into the Past.
Continuing his pursuit for Shahdee, he finds her trying to murder a woman in red. The Prince engages Shahdee once more in battle and kills her. The woman introduces herself as Kaileena, a servant of the Empress of Time. Denied an audience with the Empress of Time to state his case, the Prince is then faced with the task of activating two towers, that will will open the doors to the empress' throne room. Kaileena aids the Prince by presenting to him the Serpent Sword, which will activate the bridges to reach both towers. He eventually obtains the Lion Sword, an even more powerful weapon than the previous.
As the Prince explores the island, he occasionally encounters a mysterious, dark-looking creature known as the Sand Wraith. Shortly before reaching the throne room, the Prince is attacked by the Dahaka (which, until this point, had only been encountered in the present) and almost killed, but the dark creature rushes in and is killed in his place. The Dahaka then leaves without attacking the Prince, much to his surprise.
The Prince eventually succeeds in reaching the Throne Room only to discover that Kaileena is the Empress of Time. She had sent Shahdee to kill the Prince, and on the perilous journey to the towers, and even cursed the Lion Sword. Yet, the Prince did not die. Kaileena has seen her fate, which is to die at the hands of the Prince. Accepting this, her only concern is to get rid of him at any cost. Shahdee, feeling that her mission to help save Kaileena was foolish, turned against her only to be killed by the Prince.
The Prince reluctantly fights and kills Kaileena. Returning to the present, he hopes that he has escaped his fate, but soon discovers that when he killed Kaileena, the Sands of Time were created from her ashes. Realizing that he has caused the event he intended to prevent, the Prince begins to lose hope, but soon discovers the Mask of the Wraith, which is said to have the power to defy fate.
When he puts on the mask, he transforms into the Sand Wraith, the dark creature he previously came across in his journey. In this state, the Prince is able to coexist in a single time with his past self, explaining his past encounters with the Sand Wraith. When he reaches the point at which the Wraith saved the Prince from the Dahaka, he instead lets the Dahaka kill his previous self, causing the mask to fall off and him to return to the position he was in just before he entered the Throne Room. The Prince decides that he may not be able to avoid killing Kaileena, but if he kills her in the present rather than the past, the Sands will not be created until after he had used them, thereby escaping his fate. The Prince confronts Kaileena again and forces her through a time portal into the present.
At this point the ending forks, depending on whether or not the player has found all of the health upgrades and acquired the ultimate weapon in the game, the Water Sword. The ending where the Prince wields the Water Sword is the canonical ending as it extensively affects the story of The Two Thrones. The ending where he does not have the Water Sword is non-canon.

Water Sword (Canon Ending)

The Dahaka appears and heads for Kaileena. However, the Prince discovers that the Dahaka has a weakness to his Water Sword. The Prince fights the Dahaka and manages to defeat it. Having both escaped their fates, the Prince and Kaileena set sail for Babylon together. In the ending scene of the boat heading off towards Babylon, the Prince ends up sleeping with Kaileena and beginning a sexual relationship together. While in Kaileena's embrace The Prince sees a vision of Babylon under attack. In the end, the a hooded figure picks up Sharaman's crown saying and declares all that the Prince posses is rightfully his as well.

Without the Water Sword (Non-Canon Ending)

"Your journey will not end well. You cannot change your fate. No man can."

—Old Man

The Prince and Kaileena fight again and the Prince kills her. After the fight, the Dahaka appears, taking both the body of Kaileena and the Medallion of Time. Seemingly satisfied with having restored the fabric of time, the Dahaka disappears with all evidence of the timelines misinterpretation. With his fate evaded, the Prince heads back to Babylon to find his city in war and turmoil. The game ends with him hearing the words of the old mystic.
