Ubisoft today announced that Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands video game is in development and is scheduled to be released May 2010 for consoles and handhelds.

This new instalment in the critically-acclaimed franchise marks the return to the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time game storyline. Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands will feature many of the fan-favorite elements from the original series as well as new gameplay innovations that gamers have come to expect from the Prince of Persia brand.

The first trailer for the game will be shown at the Spike TV’s Video Game Awards 2009 on Saturday, December 12th at 8PM/7C.

I was surprised to find out it’s a continuation of The Sands of Time Trilogy, and not the recent Prince of Persia reboot. It makes sense though, cause they’ll release it the same month as the upcoming Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time movie based on the game by the same name.
