Ubisoft announced the official subtitle for the next video game in the critically-acclaimed Prince of Persia franchise, Prince of Persia The Two Thrones. Scheduled to release in December 2005, Prince of Persia The Two Thrones takes the best features of Prince of Persia The Sands of Time and Prince of Persia Warrior Within, and combines them with new gameplay elements such as a second playable character, an intuitive Speed Kill system, outdoor Babylon environment, chariot combat racing and more.

With such elements, Prince of Persia The Two Thrones is poised to take the action-adventure gaming experience to a new level.

The Prince of Persia makes his way home to Babylon, along with Kaileena, the enigmatic Empress of Time, and unspeakable scars from the Island of Time. But instead of the peace he longs for, he finds his kingdom ravaged by war and Kaileena the target of a brutal plot. When she is kidnapped, the Prince tracks her to the Palace - only to see her murdered by a powerful enemy.

Her death unleashes the Sands of Time, which strike the Prince and threaten to destroy everything he holds dear. Cast to the streets, hunted as a fugitive, the Prince soon discovers that the Sands have tainted him, too. They have given rise to a deadly Dark Prince, whose spirit gradually possesses him ...

Prince of Persia The Two ThronesM is to be released in December 2005 for the PlayStation 2, the Xbox, the Nintendo GameCube and the PC-CD Rom.
