As announced in Ubisoft's pre-E3 bulletin, the Prince of Persia franchise will be expanding this year. Prince of Persia 3 (working title) will see the hero with his love, Kaileena, going home to a war ravaged kingdom. The Prince is quickly captured and Kaileena is forced to unleash the Sand of Time on the world once more.
Vice president of marketing for Ubisoft, Tony Kee, had the following to say, “Prince of Persia 3 promises to be THE best instalment in the legendary franchise. 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…”
Prince of Persia 3 is slated for release in the second half of 2005 for PS2, Xbox, Gamecube and PC, no mention was made of the previously announced Gameboy Advanced version. New Features include:
* Play and master two distinct characters: Wield the powers and weapons of two master warriors with different combat styles, attitudes, and histories.
* Choose your way to fight: Master the expanded Free-Form Fighting system to destroy enemies in your own style; strangle enemies from afar with the deadly Daggertail; or surprise them with full-speed one-shot kills using a brand new stealth art. The choice is yours.
* Battle freely through Babylon: Dominate enemies on the perilous rooftops, dodge through chaotic streets, and ambush pursuers in dark, underground passageways.
* Immerse yourself in a dramatic story: Experience unparalleled depth in storytelling as you fight your way through a twisting tale filled with adrenaline, tension and discovery.
* Manipulate time to surprise enemies: Execute powerful attacks against entire armies by slowing down or rewinding time, or surprise them by using some all-new Sands of Time powers.
* Experience a masterful blend of gameplay: True to the Prince of Persia franchise, the game provides a variety of action combat, agility and story-driven puzzles – all masterfully blended together into a rich gaming experience.
