Ubisoft Announces Prince Of Persia: The Fallen King
Ubisoft announced a DS exclusive today, namely Prince of Persia: The Fallen King, developed for the DS by Ubi's own Casablanca Studio. The new game will "complement" the new PoP game in development for consoles and PC - both games should be released this holiday.
Expect to wield your stylus to guide the Prince through his trademark acrobatics and Cirque de Soleil combat during the escape to a deserted kingdom that appears as a safe haven, but is in fact poisoned by the Corruption.
Ubisoft promises a unique visual style with over 50 different maps and environments ranging from dark jungles to sinister labyrinths - I just hope they learned from Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles, where camera and control issues hindered some of that game's ambitions.
In the meantime we've got a lone screenshot, pictured.
Read on for the full release!

About Prince of Persia: The Fallen King
Facing imminent danger, the Prince flees to a deserted kingdom that seemingly offers sanctuary. Already touched by the evil Corruption, a dark substance that physically contaminates the land and the skies, the kingdom is filled with adventure, challenge and intrigue. As the Prince seeks a way to fight the spreading Corruption destroying the land, he encounters a partially infected creature that promises salvation.

I'm actually more excited about this version more than the console version as long as it remains close to the original PoP and PoP2 from way back when.
