More On: Prince fo Persia (New)
The fresh Prince of Persia is now etched into the calendar for a December 2nd release date.  That puts the Prince and Elika (the Clank to his Ratchet, the Daxter to his Jak) on a collision course with NCAA Basketball 09 and Sacred 2: Fallen Angel.  Which is to say, Ubisoft found an open spot.  The sands of time are now trickling the two and a half months to its release.
UBISOFT ANNOUNCES RELEASE DATE FOR PRINCE OF PERSIA

The Prince will Reign December 2, 2008

SAN FRANCISCO, CA - September 18 2008 - Today Ubisoft announced that Prince
of Persia will ship December 2, 2008 for the Xbox 360(TM) video game and
entertainment system from Microsoft, the PLAYSTATIONR3 computer
entertainment system, and PC. Prince of Persia: The Fallen King will also
ship simultaneously and exclusively for the Nintendo DS(TM) system.

Prince of Persia opens an entirely new chapter in the Prince of Persia
universe in addition to introducing a fresh Illustrative art style, evolved
combat system, open world structure and dynamic AI - most notably in the
form of the Prince's powerful ally Elika.

About Prince of Persia
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.

About Prince of Persia: The Fallen King
Facing imminent danger, the Prince flees to a deserted kingdom that
seemingly offers sanctuary. Already touched by the evil Corruption, a dark
substance that physically contaminates the land and the skies, the kingdom
is filled with adventure, challenge and intrigue. As the Prince seeks a way
to fight the spreading Corruption destroying the land, he encounters a
partially infected creature that promises salvation. But is the creature
truly an ally or merely an enemy in disguise? It seems this perilous
alliance may be the only way for the Prince to face the forces of darkness
and save the Persian kingdom from the Corruption once and for all.
