The first Prince of Persia in-game trailer was today released by publisher Ubisoft. The two minute video features a glimpse of the series' new illustrative art style and duel-focused combat system.
TeamXbox had the opportunity to see an early trailer and then talk to Ben Mattes, the producer for the forthcoming PoP title that's due out later this year. Between the trailer and his extensive descriptions of what's being planned for the next installment, we're getting a good idea of what Xbox 360 players will have in store for them.
Though the Prince loses his time powers, he is gaining more acrobatic skills, a completely new combat system, and an open world free of the linear constraints of the previous game. Though Prince of Persia has an open world and is using the Assassin's Creed engine, don't think of it as a clone. This is POP for the new generation and it looks and feels like the perfect transition.
