News: The Prince is back and ready to defy a death once more. This time his own. MWAHAHAHAHA!

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time was considered one of the most pure action games ever when it was released in 2003. And while Ubisoft is proud to crow that the game was the undisputed console game of the year, many people would look to a little game called The Wind Waker. But that doesn't take anything away from the Prince as people are climbing walls to catch the first glimpses of Prince of Persia 2. You have it easy as you just have to read this Fact Sheet from Ubisoft:

Product Description
The Old Man said to the Prince, "Your fate has been written. You will die."

Enter the dark underworld of Prince of Persia 2, the sword-slashing sequel to the critically acclaimed Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.

Hunted by Dahaka, an immortal incarnation of Fate seeking divine retribution, the Prince 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.
