Prince of Persia births a third

If you want to see some pretty screenshots and dream of ancient Persia during your lunch nap, head on over to ToTheGame. They have some images of the just-announced Prince of Persia 3 that should impress. No sub-title yet, but it will probably be filled with doom and despair. I miss the light-hearted early days of the series, sometimes. Then I see all the high resolution blood, and I get over it.

From the press release:

Play and master two distinct characters: Wield the powers and weapons of two master warriors with different combat styles, attitudes, and histories.

    • Choose your way to fight: Master the expanded Free-Form Fighting system to destroy enemies in your own style; strangle enemies from afar with the deadly Daggertail; or surprise them with full-speed one-shot kills using a brand new stealth art. The choice is yours.

    • Battle freely through Babylon: Dominate enemies on the perilous rooftops, dodge through chaotic streets, and ambush pursuers in dark, underground passageways.

    • Immerse yourself in a dramatic story: Experience unparalleled depth in storytelling as you fight your way through a twisting tale filled with adrenaline, tension and discovery.

    • Manipulate time to surprise enemies: Execute powerful attacks against entire armies by slowing down or rewinding time, or surprise them by using some all-new Sands of Time powers.

    • Experience a masterful blend of gameplay: True to the Prince of Persia® franchise, the game provides a variety of action combat, agility and story-driven puzzles – all masterfully blended together into a rich gaming experience.
