Ubisoft has announced that the Prince of Persia Epilogue DLC is now available for download from Xbox LIVE for 800 Microsoft Points and from PSN for $15.95.
The Prince of Persia Epilogue continues the story of the Prince and Elika with a brand-new epic adventure. Game features include:
Ubisoft have released two new trailers for Prince of Persia, available Thursday this week on Xbox 360 and PS3, and the following week on PC.
Developed by Ubisoft’s Montreal studio, the game opens an entirely new chapter in the Prince of Persia universe in addition to introducing a fresh illustrative art style, evolved combat system, and open world structure.
Check out "The World" HD trailer here (787MB) and more gameplay footage here (830MB).
This new version of Prince of Persia reminds me of classic Walt Disney movies. It looks beautiful, and fills you with emotion.
It is not set in the same world as the previous Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake and that game's sequels, but instead has a whole new storyline, characters and environment to explore. The platforming looks great, and jumping around a level is quick, smooth and looks skilful.
Most of it has been kept under wraps so far. What we do know is that you play as a travelling adventurer who comes into a land where darkness has taken over, and you meet a girl named Elika who seems to have the ability to cleanse the land. You decide to help her out (at first trying to figure out how best to get into her pants, of course) and throughout the journey you become the true hero you were meant to be. The developers said Han Solo was a big inspiration for the character of the Prince in this game. I have to admit he does have some pretty good one-liners.

Set in a land rooted in ancient Persian mythology, the Prince finds himself caught in an epic battle between the primal forces of light and darkness: the God of Light, Ormazd versus his brother Ahriman, the destructive God of Darkness. The Prince arrives just in time to witness the destruction of the legendary Tree of Life - an act which threatens to plunge the entire world into eternal darkness. Manifested in the form of the Corruption, a dark substance that physically contaminates the land and the skies, the Prince must partner with Elika, a deadly companion, to heal the world from the evil Corruption.
Features:
- A new hero emerges: Master the acrobatics, strategy and fighting tactics of the most agile warrior of all time. Grip fall down the face of a building, perform perfectly timed acrobatic combinations, swing over canyons, buildings and anything that is reachable. This new rogue warrior must utilize all of his new skills along with a whole new combat system to battle Ahriman's corrupted lieutenants to heal the land from the dark Corruption and restore the light.
- A new epic journey begins: Escape to experience the new fantasy world of ancient Persia. Masterful storytelling and sprawling environments will deliver to action-adventure fans an experience that rivals even the best Hollywood movies.
- A new open world structure: A first for the Prince of Persia franchise - now you have the freedom to determine how the game evolves in this non-linear adventure. Players will decide how they unfold the storyline by choosing their path in the open-ended world.
- Emergence of a deadly new ally: History's greatest ally is revealed in the form of Elika, a dynamic AI companion who joins the Prince in his fight to save the world. Gifted with magical powers, she interacts with the player in combat, acrobatics and puzzle-solving enabling the Prince to reach new heights of deadly high-flying artistry through special duo acrobatic moves or devastating fighting combo attacks.
- All new for Next-Gen: The franchise's debut on next-generation consoles utilizes Ubisoft's proprietary Anvil engine, the same engine used to develop Assassins Creed.
