New Prince of Persia screens and video
As the embargo for Ubidays ends and news about the new Prince of Persia game begins to flood the tubes, the more promise the game seems to have. Ubisoft Montreal is looking to refresh the franchise by taking elements from everything from Ico to Assassin's Creed. The main change is the female character, Elika, who will be your AI companion through the game, similar to Yorda from Ico.
Unlike Yorda however, Ubisoft Montreal is looking to make Elika only helpful and never detrimental. As seen in the trailer Elika is now the source of many of your time powers, and she'll be intergal to the new combat system. The new system focuses entirely on single combat and you'll never find yourself in any fight that isn't a duel. Ubisoft is making some big changes with this one, lets hope it's a success!

While it looks interesting......i'm skeptical.......only duels...AI companion never works that well........if they had co-op, that would be nice.......i love the franchise, but they need to step it up.....

only duels makes for more detailed fights like soul calibur and the like. also the original had only 1 on 1 duels.

The video has me interested. Maybe it is the epic music that screams, "hey man! this is amazing!" Well...maybe it is. We shall see.
