Download a skin for free.

Ubisoft has decided to reward Prince of Persia fans for their loyalty with a free downloadable character skin.

The skin will let you play as Altair, the hero of Assassin's Creed.

"Prince of Persia is an incredible experience," said Ben Mattes, the man in charge of making Prince of Persia. "We're thrilled to give our loyal fans another way to journey through it."

To download the skin, you must first sign up for a Ubisoft.com account.

"This exclusive reward is a 'thank you' to our fans, who can easily unlock it when they link their Ubisoft.com accounts to their Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 gamer identities."

Prince of Persia is out on 5th December for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.
