Prince of Persia 2: Screens & Video

Details, screens and a brand new rendered video sequence available in - you guessed it - hi-res direct feed.

UbiSoft's Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is unanimously looked upon as one of the best games of last year, so it was inly a matter of time until a sequel was announced. And announced it was at the start of May, with the game debuting at the E3 show proper.

Coming to all three consoles and PC, Prince of Persia 2 puts gamers in a darker world than before. As Prince is told at the start of the game, "Your fate has been written. You will die." Nice!

The sword-slashing sequel sees the prince hunted by Dahaka, an immortal incarnation of Fate seeking divine retribution. He embarks upon a path of both carnage and mystery to defy his preordained death. His journey leads to the infernal core of a cursed island stronghold harboring mankind's greatest fears.

Only through grim resolve, bitter defiance and the mastery of deadly new combat arts can the Prince rise to a new level of warriorship - and emerge from this ultimate trial with his life.

The Prince has matured immeasurably since his courageous fight in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. He returns here with deadlier skills, a darker heart and a craving for battle.

An intricate new combat system lets you wage battles with no boundaries. 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 ranged combat tactics. You'll ravage enemies with the devastating new combative powers of the Sands of Time, opening up promising variations in fighting gameplay.

We'll have much more on Prince of Persia 2 over the coming months - stay tuned.
