Prince of Persia Ships to Store Shelves
Ubisoft announced that Prince of Persia for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system has shipped to store shelves.
"Prince of Persia is one of the most innovative and critically acclaimed franchises in video game history," said Tony Key, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Ubisoft. "This new chapter will continue to set the standard for the action-adventure genre and is a definite must-own title this holiday season."
About Prince of Persia Set in a land rooted in ancient Persian mythology, the warrior Prince finds himself caught in an epic battle between the primal forces of light and darkness that pits the God of Light, Ormazd, against his brother, Ahriman, the destructive God of Darkness. After witnessing the destruction of the legendary Tree of Life - an act which unleashes Ahriman’s corrupted darkness onto the land - the Prince and his deadly companion, Elika, embark on a journey to heal the world from the evil Corruption and defeat Ahriman once and for all.
Led by the all-star team that previously created the Prince of Persia® Sands of Time trilogy, Prince of Persia has been in development at Ubisoft’s Montreal studio for over three years. The video game opens an entirely new chapter in the Prince of Persia universe in addition to introducing a fresh illustrative art style, evolved combat system, open world structure and dynamic AI - most notably in the form of the Prince’s powerful ally Elika.
