Prince of Persia for PSP

Ubisoft has announced that a PSP instalment in the Prince of Persia series is currently in development, releasing the first screenshots of the game too.

Titled simply as Prince of Persia PSP for now, the game is being developed by Pipeworks, whose previous titles include Godzilla: Save the Earth (Xbox, PS2) and Rampage: Total Destruction (Gamecube, PS2).

According to Ubisoft, PoP PSP "builds on" last year's PoP Warrior Within with original content such as additional puzzles, new maps and redesigned levels.

It follows the adventures of our hero as he attempts to avoid the Dahaka and his preordained death, using the "free-form fighting system" and "an all-new projectile attack system" to deck everyone who gives him any trouble.

We're promised "astounding variations in fighting gameplay", plus new ways of using the Sands of Time and bonus rewards when you complete the game.

Prince of Persia PSP will hit the shops in December.
