Prince of Persia 'Epilogue' DLC coming February 26 photo

Prince of Persia is one of those titles that seemed to divide gamers in 2008 -- either you loved it, or you simply hated it. For me, it was one of the best gaming experiences of last year. So if you hear shouting, that's me yelling in excitement about the game's upcoming downloadable content. 

Ubisoft has revealed that some huge "Epilogue" downloadable content will be coming on February 26. By "huge," we're talking a new area, a new power, a new attack ... here's the list in bullet-point form, direct from Ubisoft:

  • New Region: The Underground Palace – A corrupted underground palace from which the Prince and Elika need to escape in a new epic journey.
  • New Power: Energize – Reconstruct destroyed areas of the environment to create a path and rush through it before it vanishes.
  • New high pace: The new trap challenge – The Prince and Elika will face more cunning foes, cleverer traps and level design, adding more to the difficulty level in over 3 hours of gameplay.
  • New Attack: Sprinting Clash – A duel move that lets you or the enemy trigger a sprint attack, charging towards each other, clashing your weapons fiercely.
  • New Unlockable Skins: Finish the game and unlock exclusively, from the early development of the game, the Prototype characters of the Prince and Elika. 
No word on pricing for the "Epilogue" content, but it looks like it should be a good value, considering the amount of content. So: do want or do not want?

Wow, I cannot wait! Sounds like it will carry on from the end of the game, I didn't see this coming...

Sounds nice. I wonder, how much gameplay time this will add though.

Goddamn, all these DLC packages are killing my wallet. First Fable, then Fallout, now PoP? Argh, I'm such a stickler for extra content. :(

So, does this mean that the ending in the game that shipped, really isn't the ending?

@Pascruz46:

An epilogue is generally something that comes AFTER the ending -- not something that replaces it. The official ending will no doubt still be the same as it was in the retail game. Think of this as just an... expansion, to tie up loose ends.

no thats the ending, in the interview they said after post production they were throwing ideas around for stuff that happens after the ending and this is the product of that. Think of it sorta as what is going to happen inbetween this game and the next.

Anyone that uses the word "cleverer", should be shot.

I think I'll grab this. I really enjoyed the game, but I wasn't too satisfied with how it concluded. Felt like I did all that work for nothing. Maybe this will give me a better sense of accomplishment.

What I really want is what they gave in price of persia sands of time: side boob.

I will play it if it's free. I don't pay for DLC.

i'm about 4 levels away from finishing the game, and frankly i'm forcing myself through it now, so i'm going to give this an all mighty "meh"

I stopped playing after awhile, it kind of felt like a job. When I do finish it, I think I will be done with it, not gonna dl this.

does this DLC actually penalize you for failing? (aka death) If not then no thanks.

I'm dissapointed at how this game turned out. I got so sick of it, and I had absolutely no motivation whatsoever to play the game for another 10 hours. So I watched the ending on Youtube. First time I've ever done that...

I love the game so I'll probably end up getting this, 3 hours more gameplay isn't bad. Yea I could bitch and moan "waaa it should have been on the disc." But there is another point of view. In the last gen days if you wanted more of a game you loved you had to wait till a sequel came out, if it did. Whereas now, you can dive back into a game you like and experience something new, for what 1/6 or 1/3 of the cost of the original title. If its not your thing so be it, keep fighting the good fight. Meanwhile I'll be enjoying 3 more hours of a game I loved that I thought I wouldn't play again.

Pretty interesting, but yeah... I wonder how much gameplay it is actually going to add.

Well, I'll be watching whatever this DLC brings to the mix on Youtube. Sold mine to a friend for like 25 bucks, but I really think this game is only worth $5. Too bare bones.

The game was complete shit and I already sold it back so this doesn't concern me. But, I did have the PS3 version so this wouldn't affect me anyway because I'm guessing this is a Microsoft exclusive once again.

Yeah, file me in the "Hated it" category, leaving me pretty unexcited about this.

Yeah, I'm not touching this one with a ten foot quicktime event.

Prince of Persia is my favorite game series, but man was I disappointed with this title. I will buy the DLC and I will play through it several times. I really hope they add some more linearity and less collection of light seeds (preferably none) in PoP 8.
