Prince of Persia
Prince of Persia
Ubisoft breathes life into its Prince of Persia series once again. This time, journey through ancient Persia as a new prince to the series. You will also be accompanied by Elika, a beautiful AI companion, in your fight to save the world.
Details from Prince of Persia’s developer Ubisoft:
A New Hero Emerges
Master the acrobatics, strategy and fighting tactics of the most agile warrior of all time. Grip fall down the face of a building, perform perfectly timed acrobatic combinations, swing over canyons, buildings and anything that is reachable. This new rogue warrior must utilize all of his new skills along with a whole new combat system to battle Ahriman’s corrupted lieutenants to heal the land from the dark Corruption and restore the light.
Emergence of a Deadly New AllyHistory’s greatest ally is revealed in the form of Elika, a dynamic AI companion who joins the Prince in his fight to save the world. Gifted with magical powers, she interacts with the player in combat, acrobatics and puzzle-solving enabling the Prince to reach new heights of deadly high-flying artistry through special duo acrobatic moves or devastating fighting combo attacks.
A New Epic Journey BeginsEscape to experience the new fantasy world of ancient Persia. Masterful storytelling and sprawling environments will deliver to action-adventure fans an experience that rivals even the best Hollywood movies.
A New Open World StructureA first for the Prince of Persia franchise – now you have the freedom to determine how the game evolves in this non-linear adventure. Players will decide how they unfold the storyline by choosing their path in the open-ended world.
All New for Next-GenThe franchise’s debut on next-generation consoles utilizes Ubisoft’s proprietary Anvil engine, the same engine used to develop Assassins Creed™.
It was no surprise to hear that this game was using the Anvil Engine from Assassins Creed. I could tell from the first video I saw that some of the Prince’s moves seemed a little similar to Altair’s. There seems to be sufficient new content and environments as well as the addition of an AI playmate, so I don’t think this is an attempt to make more money off Assassin’s Creed but with a new skin.
