Ubisoft reveals new details about Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, a game set between The Sands of Time and Warrior Within, granting the Prince power over the forces of nature, which he will conveniently forget by the second game.
The problem with interjecting a video game between two previously released titles is we can pretty much assume the new title ends with a total memory wipe. Unless Ubisoft decides to release a new version of Warrior Within with references to Forgotten Sands, that'll probably be the case. We can't have the Prince simply deciding not to use the natural powers he'll be using in Forgotten Sands, can we?
After the events in The Sands of Time, the Prince goes to visit his brother's kingdom, only to find it besieged by the forces of evil. Using the powers of the Sands to save the kingdom from annihilation kicks off an adventure in which the Prince will learn what Spider-Man already knows; with great power comes great responsibility.
Expect epic moments, tons of acrobatics, and refined combat, all rendered lovingly in the Anvil game engine.
The game is being developed for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, PSP, Nintendo Wii, and DS, with the last three featuring a different gaming experience than the more powerful platforms. Expect more details on what that means as we inch closer to the game's May 2010 release.
Be sure to check out the game's reveal trailer, which premeired this weekend during the Spike TV VGA Awards.
