Small group of guys running after the main character. Main character drops a bottle of water, and the group of guys go after it. Shows an apocalyptic world where a metropolitan city is destroyed. Sort of looks like a Cloverfield scene with one skyscraper building leaning against another. 6 days earlier, main character is shown walking the streets of a modern day environment. Everything looks fine until a huge dust cloud brushes through the city. New game is called “I Am Alive.”

When interrupted by an enemy, enter combat mode.  Centers around the idea of a duel.  You and Ellica versus the enemy.  Sense of urgency of a boss battle versus every enemy.  Acrobatic combat and dynamic camera angles.

Climbing and moving through environment improved to allow casual players able to move around without having to die all the time.  If you fall off, Ellica acts as a safety where she will seamlessly bring you back to the previous platform.  This avoids having to go through a continue screen just to try again.

Small emphasis on the look and feel, artisitic direction of the new Prince of Persia.  Everything in the game world looks beautiful.

When friends are in-game you can do stuff like throwing snowballs at each other before going down the slope.  You can play with 16 of your friends, seeing each other going down the slope at the same time.  You can design your own challenges to your friends, ie doing a particular tricks or risk.  While they perform the challenge, you can continue playing your game in a seamless open world experience.
