Here's a spot of good news for Prince of Persia fans who already got a glimpse of the next iteration in the action-packed series. Coinciding with what was originally slated to come out by the end of the year, Ubisoft recently announced that the upcoming game will be released by the third quarter of its fiscal year.

This should place the release date of the new title somewhere around the beginning of October until the end of December. Hopefully, Ubisoft will stay with this estimate especially since there's been no mention of a specific release date.

The new title will star a totally different "Prince" from the one in The Sands of Time trilogy. Apart from that, it will also feature cel-shaded graphics and a story not unlike Okami's "heal the world" theme.

We're expecting more news on it once the upcoming UbiDays event arrives this May 28 and 29 in Paris. Until then, keep checking back in with us for more updates regarding the new Prince of Persia (PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, DS) title.
