The new Prince of Persia will be available not only on PC,
but also on the next-gen gaming platforms from Microsoft and Sony, Xbox 360 and
PlayStation 3.
Ubisoft did not release any details, but it said that the
game features “new breed of gameplay”, whatever that means.
Surprisingly, the new title will not be available on Nintendo
Wii, but Ubisoft noted that the fans of Nintendo DS will be able to enjoy a game
specifically designed for their favorite console, featuring an entirely new
storyline and new characters.
Jordan Mechner, who used a technique called rotoscoping, in
order to achieve a natural sense of movement, originally developed “Prince of
Persia”. The first game was launched for the PC in 1989 and soon it became one
of the most popular games of all times.
Since 2003, Ubisoft has released three titles based on the
adventures of Prince of Persia: “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time” in 2003, “Prince
of Persia: Warrior Within” in 2004 and “Prince of Persia:
The Two Thrones” in 2005.
Also a movie called “Prince of Persia: The Sands Of Time”,
based on a script written by Jordan Mechner and directed by Mike Newell is
scheduled to be released in June 2009.
