Ubisoft has announced plans to release Downloadable Content for its upcoming Prince of Persia video game post-launch, promising full details and release date to be announced in the near future.

"Our intention is to do downloadable content that really offers a lot of value for the player - another experience." said Ben Mattes, Producer.

Ubisoft also released Prince of Persia’s fourth Developer’s Diary. In this new diary, the developers discuss their desire to merge imaginative, open-ended game play with a rich, overarching story through the use of networks of player-chosen paths, Elika’s magical abilities and the new on-demand dialogue which acts as both a useful hint system as well as additional narrative.

And Ubisoft kicks off the countdown to the release of Prince of Persia with the launch of an unique website. Check it out now – www.princeofpersiagame.com

Prince of Persia is scheduled to release December 2, 2008 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in North America.

The game is set in a land rooted in ancient Persian mythology, the Prince finds himself caught in an epic battle between the primal forces of light and darkness: the God of Light, Ormazd versus his brother Ahriman, the destructive God of Darkness. The Prince arrives just in time to witness the destruction of the legendary Tree of Life – an act which threatens to plunge the entire world into eternal darkness. Manifested in the form of the Corruption, a dark substance that physically contaminates the land and the skies, the Prince must partner with Elika, a deadly companion, to heal the world from the evil Corruption.
