It took me awhile but I finally picked up on the popularity of the Prince of Persia franchise and I am really enjoying the game. Recently, Ubisoft announced a new PoP game that would include a new prince, a new story, a new art style, and a new concept entirely. I have been following this new Prince of Persia since its announcement and I continue to be impressed with it as new details continue to emerge. Here are a few the details that have me excited.

1.) An Incredible new cel shaded art that strives to revive an old franchise in the same way that Wind Waker revived Zelda. The game seems to use this technique to add detail to the visuals without making it look cartoony. The game still has that mature, violent tone to it but also has a fresh, colorful palette that is brand new to the franchise.

2.) This will be the first game to incorporate a support character. The entire game, the Prince will guide a beautiful princess named Elike that will aid in combat, puzzles, as well as play an integral part in the story.

3.) The old games emphasized fighting groups of enemies while this new title will tend to focus more on one on one encounters with more imposing, challenging enemies. This might imply a bit more of a challenge and make for some truly epic confrontations.

Ill continue to bring the updates as the roll out.
