French gaming magazine Joypad have secured an exclusive, bearing the first ever in-game pictures from the new Prince of Persia game. It looks… different. Different in a good way, that is. It appears to have the art style of Okami (sloshed around with a bit of Street Fighter 4) meets Ico meets Twilight Princess and the amalgamation of styles has resulted in what looks to be an amazing new game from Ubisoft Montreal. Scans of the feature have been lovingly uploaded by twobrothersandasister.com and we’ve uploaded crops of the individual in-game screens for those who don’t read French!

This visual reboot appears to signal a reboot in the series in general, with signs hinting that the next game will be titled “Prince of Persia”. This is in no way a bad thing. Throughout the previous games the art-style was starting to tire, and the plot was starting to wear a little thin. We have really high hopes for this new game, and we look forward to some hints at the gameplay itself (which may be described in the article. If any of our readers can read French we’d appreciate if you drop us a line if there’s any useful info there).
