New Prince of Persia Game Officially Announced

Following up on the recent Prince of Persia trademark filing, Ubisoft has officially announced that a new game in the franchise is scheduled for release towards the end of 2008 for the usual suspects – PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. The new game is in development at Ubisoft’s Montreal studio and the same all-star team that created the previously acclaimed Prince of Persia Sands of Time trilogy and the recently released Assassin’s Creed.

The game is said to “rejuvenate” the action-adventure genre and will feature a completely different illustrative art style. Recently word got out that series creator Jordan Mechner had filed a trademark for Prince of Persia Prodigy. Ubisoft has not confirmed if this is indeed the title for the upcoming game.
