Prince of Persia Fans @DW.org

[Original Story] Hidden deep within the slides detailing Ubisoft's first-half 2010-11 financial report, the publisher revealed that its future digital download offerings will include the Prince of Persia trilogy and an unnamed Splinter Cell title [PDF].

A PS3-exclusive Prince of Persia trilogy package has already been confirmed for release in Europe, Middle East, Africa by Ubisoft [via Joystiq]; however, the financial report breakdown [PDF] notes each title in the prev-gen Prince of Persia series is also headed to the PSN. Could this be the Prince's way into North American homes?

There were also rumors of a Splinter Cell Trilogy making its way to the PS3; however, the slides only note a single, subtitle-less Splinter Cell game, so it's unclear exactly what the digital release will be.

A broodish Prince makes a second comeback?



After Ubisoft pulled Prince of Persia: Warrior Within from the App Store, thanks to some troubling problems with the game’s menu, the publisher has sprinkled some Sands o’ Time on the app, and returned to a time when the game was available to purchase. It came back with an update that not only fixes the menu, but also packs in an improved tutorial for those perplexed by Warrior Within’s rather deep combat system. The game features 12 chapters full of nasty sand monsters and giant boss enemies, all of which you’ll have to beat up on your journey.

You’ll also have to navigate the world, making tricky jumps and solving puzzles. We went hands on with the game a while back, and while some technical problems frustrated (which, if the app’s comments are anything to go by, don’t seem to have been fixed), the game did a pretty good job of squeezing a console game onto a phone. Prince of Persia: Warrior Within is now firmly in place back on the App Store, and available for iPhone and iPod touch for £5.99 / $9.99 / €7.99.
