News: Ubisoft reveals more about the Prince.

Early this morning (about 2:30 AM early to be exact), we reported that Ubisoft reconfirmed a Prince of Persia game for the PSP. If you'll recall even further back, Ubisoft first announced the title as Prince of Persia Warrior Within on their huge 2005-2006 release calendar over the summer.

Well today (at a decent hour) we have learned a little more about Prince of Persia PSP (the official title for now). First things first, Prince of Persia PSP is being developed by Pipeworks.

The game will be a slight reworking of Warrior Within and it will include new puzzles, new maps and redesigned levels. But it will include all of the same features that made Warrior Within a hit:

Free-Form Fighting System: The intricate new combat system makes its way to the PSP and allows gamers to wage battles in boundless ways. Manipulate the environment and the enemies themselves to develop your own unique fighting style. Plus, an all-new projectile attack system allows for a variety of combat tactics.

A violent underworld revealed: Explore and conquer a breeding ground for the most brutal, unrelenting monsters to torment mankind.

Control the ravages of time: Ravage enemies with the devastating new combative powers of the Sands of Time, and discover astounding variations in fighting gameplay.

Fight harder, play longer: Hours upon hours of action await you in your fight for survival, including various bonus incentives for those who finish the game.

The game is on track for a December release date in Europe with a similar date for us in America.
