Ubisoft reveals the official title for the third installment in the Prince of Persia franchise

Ubisoft, one of the world's largest video game publishers, 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.

"Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones will allow players to explore the two different sides of the Prince's divided soul," said Yannis Mallat, executive producer for Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones. "The Prince will battle with his inner demons and explore his alter ego. He'll struggle with the boundaries between good and evil in his quest to regain his rightful place as ruler of Babylon."
