The new mode is called Ruler of Time and it will require players to fight the Prince and his army of sand creatures who’ve arrived in Heathmoor following a sandstorm. Players will fight the Prince in a changed Harbor Dominion map where the Prince will periodically emerge and attack heroes using the Dagger of Time.
Along with the new mode are Prince of Persia-themed changes, including a new menu, and a variety of customization items. If players have the free event pass they will have access to 30 tiers of Prince of Persia-themed loot, including a new Battle Outfit, Sand Mood Effect, Emblem OUtline, and 26 Ornaments.

The Prince of Persia theme will also evolve with time as the Prince will eventually embrace his evil side and turn into the Dark Prince. A new game mode will be available on March 19 when that happens.
