Talk about a blast from the past. We last heard about plans to bring Prince of Persia to the DS way back in August 2006, and now Ubisoft has dispatched another press release confirming that the next Prince of Persia title will indeed appear on our favorite handheld, as well as the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. It's being handled by the same folks who made the sublime Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (the DS edition is said to be "specifically designed" for the system, with a new storyline and new characters), and is scheduled to appear towards the end of 2008.Truth be told, we have no idea whether this is the same title that was being discussed almost two years ago, but really, who cares? As long as we're definitely getting more Prince of Persia on our handhelds, we're happy.* And this year as well! Hurray!
* That is, providing it's very different from 2005's utterly mediocre Battles of Prince of Persia, because another game like Battles of Prince of Persia wouldn't make us very happy at all. Quite the opposite, actually. Oh, and this must be 2D, Ubi.
