Composer: Inon Zur (assisted by Stuart Chatwood for ambient tracks).
Signature track: "I Stand Alone" by Godsmack – plays during the main menu and Dahaka chases.
Seven years after the events of Sands of Time, the Prince is haunted by a terrible prophecy. By releasing the Sands of Time, he created a paradoxical ripple in the fabric of reality. The Dahaka, a monstrous, fluid-like embodiment of the metaphysical "Guardian of the Timeline," now hunts him relentlessly. Its sole purpose: to kill the Prince and restore the original timeline where the Sands were never unleashed.
The narrative opens in medias res—the Prince is already fleeing aboard a burning ship. His only hope to escape the Dahaka’s eternal pursuit is to reach the Island of Time, find the Empress of Time, and prevent the Sands from ever being created. This grim setup replaces the fairy-tale romance of the first game with a desperate, existential chase. Prince of Persia Warrior Within PC-Full Game
