This Prince of Persia is a bit different from the old saga, especially with its jump to the new generation of consoles. The Prince has picked up some new tricks, and a lot of the gameplay mechanics have been tweaked. Don't worry, though – this revamped Prince is just as awesome, if not even better than before!
Wall Running
Learn how to wall run in The Rogue Prince of Persia by jumping at walls. Find scratched surfaces to initiate the mechanic.
Wall running in The Rogue Prince of Persia has been slightly altered from previous iterations. To start a wall run, you must now jump at the walls instead of running towards them and holding R1 (a button used to initiate actions). You do not need to hold R1; simply jump towards the wall at the correct angle, and the Prince will automatically begin running along it for a short duration.
- Look for scratched surfaces on walls. These are the universal indicators for a surface that allows wall running in The Rogue Prince of Persia.
- Timing your jump is key to successfully initiating a wall run.
