Ubisoft will be releasing Prince of Persia Classic on Xbox Live Arcade early this Winter.

A remake of the 1989 Prince of Persia game that was lauded as the game that started the platforming genre features the same intricate level design, exciting swordplay, puzzle solving, and storyline from the original.

While the Sultan of Persia is away for a war, the evil Vizier seizes the throne for himself. He has also imprisoned the beautiful Princess and has given her an hour to decide her fate – marry him or die. As the courageous Prince, you have 60 minutes to complete the mission of saving the Princess from her deadly fate.

Developed by Gameloft, Prince of Persia Classic has received a new coat of paint with character designs, animations, visuals and lighting effects giving the game a "close to 3D" look. To freshen the gameplay experience, new traps, puzzles and enemies have also been added.
