The Prince of Persia TGS Trailer Video

The new Prince of Persia trailer was revealed at the Tokyo Game show yesterday, and it seems that the new game sticks to the same type of platforming that made the series great.

Although PoP carries the same type game play that fans love,  make no mistake this game is a reinvention of the franchise.  The first and most obvious change between this game and the original is the new artistic styling of the graphics; atmospheres that are rich in color, and light. The second would be the change in the combat system, in which there is evolving A.I. in the form of Elika the Prince’s companion in the Game, and new character in the series. Lastly the other notable change is the open world structure of the game that gives it a less constrained feeling of the original Sands of Time game.

The plot of the new game is based on a world wide threat called “The Corruption” a dark substance that is the manifestation of the God of Darkness, Ahriman. The Corruption contaminants every living thing it comes into contact with, and is slowly plunging the world into darkness. The Prince must partner with Elika a woman who possesses the ancient power to purge The Corruption.  Together they must fight side by side to purge The corruption from the world and stop Ahriman from plunging it into darkness.

Combined with the classic elements that have carried from the old games, and the new elements that have been infused; Prince of Persia has become one of the hottest upcoming releases.  According to the majority of gamers in the community PoP is one of the must have titles to be released this year. Fans seem eager to get there hands on this game. It is due to hit the shelves Dec. 2nd, so mark your calendar.
