Prince Of Persia 3 Announced
Prince of Persia 3 Announced (Xbox) Ubisoft announced today that Prince of Persia 3 is currently under development for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCube. Set to be released late this year, Prince of Persia 3 will improve upon what was already laid before it in its predecessors. Using the talent, vision and ingenuity of Ubisoft’s developers, Prince of Persia 3 boasts that it will enliven the franchise with a vitality and story twists that will impress and satisfy long-time fans and newcomers alike. "Prince of Persia 3 promises to be THE best installment in the legendary franchise," said Tony Kee, vice president of marketing for Ubisoft. "By combining two playable characters in a masterly balanced gameplay, with the perfect mix of acrobatic moves and a compelling storyline, the Prince of Persia will appeal to both Sands of Time and Warrior Within fans alike. The Prince is back to reclaim his kingdom, and he has a few surprises in store…" In his latest adventure, the Prince of Persia returns to Babylon with his love Kaileena. Instead of returning to his tranquil home, he finds his homelands torn apart by war and the kingdom turned against him. The prince is captured and Kaileena sacrifices herself and unleashes the Sands of Time in order to save him. Now hunted as a fugitive, the Prince discovers that past battles have stirred a deadly Dark Prince, whose spirit gradually possesses him. Game features include the ability to play as two distinct characters and choose your own style of fighting thanks to the Free-Form Fighting system; battle freely through Babylon - on rooftops, streets and underground passageways; a dramatic story as you fight your way to the truth of the sands of time; and of course, manipulate time to battle your enemies. Prince of Persia 3 will be showcased at this year’s E3 at the Ubisoft booth.Source: http://www.gamespy.com
