New Prince of Persia dated
Author: Joe MartinPublished: 16th May 2008
The new Prince of Persia should be released late this year according to Ubisoft.
The new Prince of Persia game is a radical departure for the series - not only will it eschew the traditional presentation in favour of a more unique, cel-shaded look, but the game will also be completely detached from the previous trilogy. No more time-travelling daggers or Monica Belluci-voiced villains.
Instead, Prince of Persia will star a more fantastical, steel-gauntleted Prince as he explores a more free-roaming world in an attempt to undo a new evil he has accidentally released. The new game apparently draws much inspiration from the stories of Scheherazade, otherwise known as One Thousand and One Nights.
Ubisoft meanwhile has confirmed that the new PoP will debut in the third fiscal quarter - or sometime between October and December to you and me. The game is expected to launch on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. Wii and DS versions of the game are also rumoured.
Ubisoft will be unveiling more details about the game at the UbiDays event later this month and we'll be sure to bring you all the details from the show floor. Until then though, you'll just have to talk about the future exploits of the titular Prince amongst yourselves in the forums.

Oh, and it's Scheherazade (missing "he")
I really enjoyed the original PoP games (well, the "new" original ones), but it sounds like they are changing everything that I liked about them, including the time-travel aspects. I'll hold my decision until more (read: any) details surface, but I'm not nearly as excited for this one as I would have been a true PoP 4.
