This is one to file strictly under 'rumour' but would undoubtedly be exciting if it turns out to be true. The increasingly interesting blog "Surfer Girl Reviews Star Wars." contains a post claiming to have the first details of a new Prince of Persia game. The cross platform release apparently currently holds the subtitle "Ghosts of the Past" and will be the first in a new trilogy set before 2003's "The Sands of Time".

The blog also claims the new game abandons the darkness of the last two titles favouring something more of a cross between "The Sands of Time", Zelda and Ico (not a bad combination if we do say so ourselves). Grounding the claims in a certain amount of fact the blog states that the second game in this new trilogy is being prepared for release to coincide with the Michael Bay directed Prince of Persia movie in summer 2009. A film based on a game being supported by a game of its own certainly makes sense, the only question to be raised is why not start the new trilogy of games with the movie rather than having it linked to the second game?


Ubisoft are understandably refusing to comment on these rumours but the existence of the film surely means it's a question of when not if a new Prince of Persia game appears.
