As promised, Ubisoft are on course to release downloadable content (DLC) for their recently (last year) released action adventure platformer, Prince of Persia.

The DLC is set to release on February 26 and expands Prince of Persia’s story with a whole new adventure, as the Prince and Elika need to escape The Underground Palace, using a new power that allows players to reconstruct areas (bridges, pathways etc.) that have long been destroyed, but will reappear for brief moments to allow the Prince and Elika to use before they vanish again.

The DLC promises over three hours of extra gameplay as players battle more cunning enemies and encounter more fiendish challenges as they traverse the environments.

Aiding them in their enemy encounters will be a new ability, the Sprint Clash, which enables players to rush up against an enemy and clash weapons, while new unlockable skins seek to add a fresh coat of paint to both the Prince and Elika.

Exciting, no? We enjoyed Prince of Persia quite a bit, so news of a set of DLC should be of considerable interest.
