Ubisoft on Monday confirmed the newest Prince of Persia game, slated for release on Xbox 360, PS3, PC and Nintendo DS this holiday.

Little has been revealed for the working title, but the game is being developed by Ubisoft Montreal, the same team that designed the original Prince of Persia: the Sands of Time, and most recently, Assassin's Creed for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

So far, the game is vaguely described as a "new chapter in the Prince of Persia universe, featuring a new breed of gameplay [and] illustrative art style."

Additionally, Ubisoft will release a Prince of Persia game specifically designed for the Nintendo DS system, featuring a unique storyline and new characters.

Prince of Persia is one of the more recognisable third-party games ever released, particularly after its transformation to 3D in 2003 with the release of Prince of Persia: the Sands of Time.
