Ubisoft is developing a fresh 2D entry in its dormant Prince of Persia series, according to a new report.

French website Portail du Jeu Video states that the new game will utilise Ubisoft Montpellier's UbiArt engine - as used in Rayman Origins and Legends (thanks, Videogamer).

It's also the same engine used by upcoming Ubisoft role-player Child of Light, and Eurogamer understands that other UbiArt games are also currently in production.

The report details some of the animation possible within the engine, and that the Prince's body will be animated to look like it is a 3D model by moving a number of individual parts - his torso, legs, feet, arms and hands - as with Rayman.

Animations are in place for the Prince to run, perform sword attacks and wall-jump.

Ubisoft declined to comment on the report when contacted by Eurogamer .

Last summer, Ubisoft's European boss Alain Corre told Eurogamer that the Prince of Persia series would return when the company "feel it is ready".

"They're cooking," Corre said of the company's various dormant franchises. "Some are cooking longer than others, but they're cooking."

This could potentially end up seriously great if it's done with the same principles as Rayman Origins.

I doubt UbiArt framework suitable for a mobile game, so indeed this could be potentialy great.

Didn't Ubi already do a remake of the first PoP using the Sands of Time prince 3D model?

Edit: Prince of Persia Classic

Wow, ubisoft is good at trolling. When PoP fans said they want new PoP games they thought about 3D ones, not 2D. 2D PoP games are cute on mobiles/tablets but it would be really lame on the bigger platforms. I also checked these UbiFart engine games... They are so Fartistic hence I'm sure the game will be set in the PoP 2008 universe which I and 95% of PoP fans fucking hated. That one was extremely Fartistic.

So boooring. Can't you guys do another LodeRunner or even Karateka? Or H.E.R.O? I think that was Broderbund too. All more interesting games after so much regurgitation.
