A cleaner look at next-gen, cel-shaded Prince of Persia

An Ubisoft rep tells us, "We haven't officially released any screenshots online for
PoP" -- kinda hard to believe when there's a
fresh cluster warming up the server on Czech Republic site Tiscali Games. (There's a
preview too, in Czech -- and here's Google's
best effort.) While the images look virtually identical to those seen in the
leaked Joypad feature from last month, being
online screenshots, these new offerings have an obvious advantage over the scans we were forced to make due with previously. As for when Ubi plans the official release of screenshots online: "All screens and artwork will be available on the Ubidays press kit on Wednesday, May 28th."
In addition, we've posted a new "Speed Art" trailer after the break, depicting Elika, a "powerful companion who accompanies the Prince throughout the game." Elika will apparently be integrated into the actual gameplay, assisting with acrobatics and combat. Just think of her as the new
Dominic Santiago, you know, minus the Hispanic meathead part.
