New Prince Of Persia Game Confirmed

Linkin Park Fan | January 23, 2008 | News | Playstation 3 XBOX 360 
Finally! Ubisoft has announced that they will make another Prince Of Persia game. No word on what the game is about or what console it will be for (most likely multi platform). Even more interesting is they are continuing the series right around the same time the Prince Of Persia movie is being developed. Could we see a tie in?
What? A giant video game publisher is looking to continue developing their highly successful series at the same time a major Hollywood producer is working on a film based on the same property? It's almost too much to believe but buried amidst their latest financial release – which also bore news of a further Haze delay – Ubisoft made a small mention of a new Prince of Persia game being released in their 2008-2009 fiscal year, which begins in April.

Other releases mentioned in the same terse bulleted list include the aforementioned Haze, EndWar, a Shaun White snowboarding game, and the recently announced Tom Clancy's Air Combat game, as well as new releases from popular franchises like Splinter Cell (Conviction), Brothers in Arms (Earned in Blood and Hell's Highway), Far Cry (uh, 2), Anno, and Prince of Persia. No more info, like which studio is developing the game, which quarter they expect it to be released, or whether or not it's part of a rumored prequel trilogy, but we'll put a question into the good folks at Ubisoft.

    If they give it the same free roaming type gameplay as AC, and something like that combat system, I'll gladly play it!

      I dunno. The best part of AC was the assassinations, but in PoP I doubt there would be many (if any).

    I like the confined and planned platforming paths of Prince of Persia more than the Assassin's Creed system simply because it lets the developers plan out a really fun design and it seems to mean more than the SC forula that you constantly use and sometimes miss while in mid-chase.

    Both are great systems though and I've had fun with each. I don's see why they would switch to a free roaming formula anyway.

    Not a big fan of PoP. I've always tried to like it but failed everytime

    I liked the original games, but I think that it may be a bit too late now, a lot of hard competition and there's similar games coming out now. I wouldn't mind seeing it do well though, be nice to play it too. I guess I kind of contradicted myself there? -.-
