Ubisoft have announced a sequel to Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time.

Following on from yesterdays exciting sales figures news, Ubisoft have said that a sequel to last years foolishly temporarily Playstation 2 exclusive Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time, is already in the works.

Possibly to be called Prince of Persia: The Sands Of Castle (hint: definitely not), there is little news regarding the new title, save for a few enigmatic words from Yves Guillemot, head of Ubisoft:

"Today, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is a resounding success for our group. A sequel to this hit is already being planned with an improved marketing positioning."

A success it was indeed, selling close to 2 million units since release. However, this is no thanks to the Playstation 2 exclusivity deal that ran for a few months as Prince Of Persia's stablemate "Beyond Good And Evil" received a cold reception from Playstation 2 owners despite critical acclaim. We can perhaps assume that "improved marketing positioning" means that no such exclusivity deals will be brokered for the next iteration of the franchise.

No news as to which consoles will see the sequel -or even whether it will make it to this generation of hardware or not. However, the original has yet to be released on the Gamecube.
