Story
The adventure begins with the Prince returning home from a previous adventure. Suddenly, though, he is caught in a fierce sandstorm, and when it subsides, he finds himself in a mythical garden of beauty, dominated at its center by a massive Tree of Life. The Prince finds Elika, and they decide to venture to the center of the oasis together. When they arrive at the center, they witness the destruction of the Tree of Life, and the liberation of Ahriman, the ancient god of darkness. After being set free, Ahriman starts corrupting the land with darkness and evil. The Prince and Elika take up arms against Ahriman's corruption, in an attempt to drive it back and cleanse the world.

Characters
Despite previous Prince of Persia games, no characters from those games return. Instead, the game primarily focuses on the new Prince character, different from the protagonists of the previous installments, and a new secondary character, Elika, as the duo explores the game's world, freeing the land from the corruption of Ahriman, the primary antagonist of the game.

Gameplay
The gameplay in Prince of Persia will retain a very similar feel to the Sands of Time trilogy, in the sense that the acrobatics, puzzle solving, and combat elements will all still be intact. However, the game is non-linear, and hence, the player is given the opportunity to explore any part of the world at any time they want to. Combat will largely differ from that in the Sands of Time trilogy, but is similar to that of the original Prince of Persia trilogy. The majority of combat is one-on-one combat, instead of fighting off hordes of enemies as in the Sands of Time trilogy. The Prince wields a sword, but he also uses his gauntlet as a secondary weapon, using it to block enemy attacks and hurl his opponents in the air by grabbing them. There are four main combat buttons: "sword button", by which the Prince uses his sword to attack enemies; "gauntlet button", by which he can lift and throw up enemies; "Elika button", by which Elika uses her magic to hit enemies; and "acrobatics button", which is useful for dodging and jumping over enemies and interacting with Elika and the environment during combat.

Development
The uses a heavily modified version of the Scimitar engine, which was also used in Assassin's Creed. Developers chose to use a modified version of this engine because it would allow them to enhance the game by adding more open land, and less linearity. Developers also chose to implement an illustrative graphical style, similar to cel-shaded graphics, but with more detail drawn in.

In an interview with Chris Easton, it was confirmed that, although the Prince will be traveling through infected lands, there will be human characters he will meet in his venture that will aid him, and have special significance on everything from the storyline to the direct game play. It was also confirmed that, although the new Prince of Persia and Assassin's Creed share game engines, Prince of Persia will not have cities filled with uninfected people, or safe areas; everything is Ahriman's domain.

Both Altair from Assassin's Creed and The Prince from the Sands of Time Trilogy will be unlockable skins. It remains unclear which version of the prince it will be. Ubisoft has yet to confirm if all three versions will be available or just from a specific game.

Spelet släpps om ett par dagar och en bokning är gjord så startar en diskussionstråd, blir väl inte årets spel men lite underhållning ska det nog ge. Har tyckt de senaste spelen har varit helt ok så likabra att testa detta med.

För mig blir det PS3 versionen också. Gamereactor har gjort en recension så tog med den i första inlägget.

En grej jag stör mig lite på är röstskådespeleriet på prinsen, verkar vara lite för mycket skämt osv, sen att det är samma person som gör rösten till Nathan Drake i Uncharted påverkar nog mig lite också.
