Parkour Across Babylon
Stealth-Kill Guards

Developed by Ubisoft Montreal · Published by Ubisoft
The Prince returns to Babylon with Kaileena hoping for peace, but finds his homeland ravaged by war and himself hunted. As a dark counterpart begins to emerge, he must make his way through the city.
Traverse rooftops, streets, and palace spaces with wall runs, jumps, ledge moves, and traps. Solve environmental puzzles and use time powers to slow or rewind events while navigating obstacles.
Fight with combos or use timed stealth kills to take enemies by surprise. In certain sections, the Prince transforms into the Dark Prince, whose chain serves as a weapon and traversal tool while his health steadily drains; chariot rides add another kind of sequence to the journey.
Players often praise the platforming, especially its varied movement and traversal, and many enjoy the story as a conclusion to the trilogy. Stealth kills and the Dark Prince sections are recurring gameplay highlights, while nostalgia is a frequent part of players’ affection for the game. Some reviews instead criticize uneven combat or boss encounters, and technical problems on modern PC setups are a recurring frustration.
