New Prince of Persia Hits Shelves December 2nd

Kotaku reports today that the latest and somewhat different Prince of Persia game will be released December 2nd. Personally I haven’t been a big fan of 3rd person action games and shooters, but The Force Unleashed made me a little more open to the experience.



I’ve never played Prince of Persia more than the demos allowed, but I did notice the new animation style right off the bat, and I wonder why the departure from the styling that helped make it so successful?

The instant I saw the screenshot of the Prince, I remembered another Kotaku post from a month ago showing Jake Gyllenhaal on the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time set. Comparing the two pictures there’s certainly a more striking similarity of Gyllenhaal to the new Prince. I’m sure there’s more to it than my own musings; the new look is more "cartoony," but still intriguing.

So head over to the official Prince of Persia site and check out the developer video diaries, or read our game and movie reviews.
