Today, Ubisoft unveiled the first screenshots from the next installment of their Prince of Persia franchise after making their official statement for the game earlier this week.
The Prince looks quite interesting this time around. He seems more beast-like; take notice of the claws. Word has it that our new hero will use them for climbing structures in the game. Also, in case you're wondering, this is not concept art, these are actual in-game screenshots. This installment of the series is going to take the cel-shaded approach. I like the look of it, it'll be interesting to see what the next-gen consoles can do with cel-shading. The Prince is also reported to have a female companion ala Ico's Yorda, only not as helpless. The name for the game that has been circulating the web is "Prince of Persia: Ghosts of the Past/Prodigy". We'll have to wait a little while longer for the official name from Ubisoft. Expect to hear and see more of the next "Prince of Persia" at this year's E3. The game is currently scheduled to be released at and undisclosed date later this year.

I'm interested to see how this one turns out. I really enjoyed the first installment on the Xbox, but I didn't bother to pick up the two sequels. I hope that this new game is unrelated to those games, and that the developers start with a fresh, new story. I also hope that they put the focus back on great puzzles with the excellent balance of combat that the first one had.
