Altair Sneaks Into Prince of Persia

Hey. Someone got their Assassin’s Creed in my Prince of Persia. And yet, much like peanut butter and chocolate, this looks like it may be two great tastes that taste great together.

In a bit of a surprise announcement, Ubisoft clued gamers in on a new perk for linking their Ubisoft.com user accounts with either their Xbox LIVE or PlayStation Network accounts. By doing so, players who pick up Prince of Persia will gain access to a special character skin of Altair from Assassin’s Creed.

“Prince of Persia is an incredible experience. We’re thrilled to give our loyal fans another way to journey through it,” said Ben Mattes, producer for Ubisoft’s Prince of Persia video game. “This exclusive reward is a ‘thank you’ to our fans, who can easily unlock it when they link their Ubisoft.com accounts to their Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 gamer identities.”

Prince of Persia is currently scheduled for release on December 5th 2008 for the Xbox 360, the PS3, and PC.
