A Release Date Settles Onto The Two Thrones
The Prince arrives in just a month.
Published: November 3, 2005
Hooray for confirmed release dates! Especially ones about games featuring a dark and angsty Prince straight from the pages of the latest Linkin Park single. He’s got a dark side, you know. No, really, a dark side, chain-made-for-throwin’-and-chokin’ and all. It’s more than just a visual change, though the dual nature of the Prince actually comes into play in the puzzle solving parts, which we detailed in our preview a few months back.
Now, finally we know exactly when we’ll be feeding our dark side and pulling off all manner of fancy, impossibly awesome acrobatic tricks with Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones. December 1st, kids, mark it on your calendar. If you’re really a kid, mark it as the day you won’t be buying the game, since it’s rated M and your purchase will unlock an unholy vortex straight to the bowels of hell that will drag the salesperson down into oblivion where they must pay $1000 starting January 1st. Your parents, of course, will suffer no consequence.
Should you pre-order the game (Xbox or PS2 versions only, sorry GameCube, PC and Game Boy Advance owners) at an EB, GameStop or Game Crazy, you’ll get a fancy-pants Prince of Persia trilogy soundtrack featuring music from The Sands of Time, Warrior Within and, yes, The Two Thrones games. The soundtrack’s more than just music, though, it’s also packed with a color artbook pamphlet and super seekrit codez that unlock, among other things, an exclusive hidden sword. Neat, huh?
If you’re too lazy to read the preview, then we’re too lazy to reword this awesome synopsis of things, so enjoy the awe and might of our ctrl+v skills:
“The Prince of Persia makes his way home to Babylon, bearing with him Kaileena, the enigmatic Empress of Time, and unspeakable scars from the Island of Time. But instead of the peace he longs for, he finds his kingdom ravaged by war and Kaileena the target of a brutal plot. When she is kidnapped, the Prince tracks her to the Palace – only to see her murdered by a powerful enemy. Her death unleashes the Sands of Time, which strike the Prince and threaten to destroy everything he holds dear. Cast to the streets, hunted as a fugitive, the Prince soon discovers that the Sands have tainted him, too. They have given rise to a deadly Dark Prince, whose spirit gradually possesses him...”
Seriously, how rad does that sound? Plenty rad, that’s how rad. Rad, man.
