A press release just landed in my inbox from Ubisoft, announcing that a new Prince of Persia title is scheduled to be released this holiday for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. The game is being developed by Ubisoft's Montreal studios, the same team who created the Prince of Persia trilogy and Assassin's Creed.
Ubisoft doesn't give many specifics, not even giving the game an official name. Might I suggest "Prince of Persia Prodigy"? They do tease that the game is the opening of a new chapter in the Prince of Persia universe, saying that the game features a 'new breed of gameplay" and will introduce a "brand-new illustrative art style."
A completely separate Prince of Persia title is also being designed for the Nintendo DS, and will feature an entirely new storyline and new characters. With Ubisoft's media day right around the corner, we should be hearing more on these titles in the coming month.

Now, I have heard everything.
Praise the internet.
I do love the idea that it's a new character and a new story unrelated to the previous trilogy. As long as the Prince isn't emo and into death metal I'm on board.
Beyond Good and Evil 2 instead please!

But best of all in a game about a character trying to change his fate, you the player can change the ending of the game. And I don't just mean the final cutscene, I'm talking about changind THE FINAL BOSS of the game!! That's right.
Ooo... pants are tight right now...
Great news, I can't wait to hear more about it.
