Late last week some rumors were running around that the much-lauded Prince of Persia series would be making it to the Nintendo Wii. Other than the fact that this goes against Ubisoft’s earlier statements that The Two Thrones completed the PoP trilogy, the rumor made a lot of sense, as Ubisoft has proven to be the Wii’s most staunch 3rd-party supporter.

Well, the news is a rumor no longer - today on IGN.com a spokesperson for Ubisoft replied:

“I can confirm that a game based on the popular Prince of Persia franchise is one of many titles Ubisoft has in development for Nintendo’s Wii… At this time we can not provide an official date for the game or any additional information about it.”

... and that’s all we have to go off of for now. Given how much Ubisoft is enamored with Nintendo’s Wiimote, it seems a given that the game will use this control scheme. We’ll probably have to wait a good while, though, before we find out exactly how Ubisoft plans to implement the controller for this franchise.
