Ubisoft has announced today that Prince of Persia 3 is currently in development.  The story of this release takes place after the Warrior Within, as the Prince returns home to find that his people are against him.  It turns out that a being known as The Dark Prince has come into the story and will conflict with the real Prince.

“Prince of Persia 3 promises to be THE best installment in the legendary franchise,” said John Parkes, Director Marketing at Ubisoft. “By combining two playable characters in a masterly balanced gameplay, with the perfect mix of acrobatic moves and a compelling storyline, the Prince of Persia will appeal to both Sands of Time and Warrior Within fans alike. The Prince is back to reclaim his kingdom, and he has a few surprises in store…”

Prince of Persia 3 is slated to be released in the second half of 2005 on Xbox, PS2, Gamecube, and PC.
