This next-gen cel-shaded Prince of Persia for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC has gone by many tentative names, but technically it’s the seventh game in the long-running series. Today Ubisoft has released the first Prince of Persia next-gen video footage during their Ubidays 2008 event.

It’s been reported that a new Prince of Persia, a thief, stumbles into a forbidden kingdom — a mythical garden of beauty, dominated at it’s center by a massive tree of life. The ancient evil god of darkness, Ahriman, was imprisoned within the tree after a cosmic struggle with his brother, Ormazd. When the Prince arrives, he unintentionally unleashes Ahriman and his corruption is unleashed upon the self-sustained garden. The Prince takes up arms against the corruption, in an attempt to redeem himself and take back his actions by driving the corruption away. In this epic battle between darkness and light, he’s joined by a deadly new female ally called Elika, to save a kingdom.
