Ubi Confirms New Prince Of Persia News

Days after 'Prince of Persia Prodigy' is trademarked, Ubi has a bold announcement to make...
Ubisoft has today confirmed that a new Prince of Persia is in development, with a release on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 before the end of 2008. A Nintendo DS edition of the game is also expected around the same time.
The announcement comes just days after 'Prince of Persia Prodigy' was trademarked at the United States Patent and Trademark Office, so today's statement isn't much of a surprise. The fact that the Sands of Time trilogy, the previous incarnation of the franchise, which appeared on the last generation of consoles, sold over ten million units in total, also added to expectations of a new chapter.
In development at Ubisoft's Montreal studio (naturally), very little is known about the game, other than it will apparently feature a "new breed of gameplay...poised to rejuvenate the action-adventure genre", together with an intriguingly sounding "brand-new illustrative art style."
A teaser website for the game has also been launched (and we mean a teaser), which already lists the game as receiving a 12+ age certificate from PEGI. The source code for the website also mentions Ubisoft's Parisian UbiDays 2008 event, due at the end of May, together with a few interesting keywords: decay and corruption.
In other words, expect more details in just a few weeks time.

Getting back to the game, I think is coming like Santa's gift, but only for XBOX, hell, I hate crappy consoles.
