Speaking to videogaming247, Chris Easton - Prince of Persia's community development manager - has said that co-operative play in the upcoming action reboot may be explored.

The sales really started strong, but today and yesterday's sales were a bit lackluster, to me.
Hopefully they will go all out tomorrow, if only not to be overshadowed by D2D's crazy Monday sale or whatever they are calling it.
I lolled at the demo on 360, but mouse control would probably make it seem like nice interactive tetris levels.
*looks at unassembled PC parts from black friday* >_<
A look back at the history of the cult series, which is now 20 years old.
I had 'The original Prince of Persia' it was an awesome game, still want to play it today. Didn't know until now, Prince of Persia shares it's birthday with mine :D
One of the best game series's to come out in the history of gaming.
UGO writes,
"To capture the fluid motions that would distinguish Prince of Persia from the glut of adventure video games released in the late '80s Jordan Mechner studied video and still pictures of his younger brother, David. Those are some modest roots for a franchise that has sold in the millions and, in 2010, see the release of a blockbuster film.
But how Mechner's Prince of Persia could inspire a reimagination that would become one of 2008's most popular holiday releases is a winding tale best told in bits. To help explain, we've compiled a chronological retrospective. Now you can learn how a kid jumping around the front yard became a thousand-polygon model leaping across hundred foot chasms."
I absolutely abhorred the new POP game. The taint of the whole series by far. such a waste of 30 dollars.
Great news! Hope they do it.
F*** no. Why is that nowadays every game and their dog is gonna have co-op? First a classic RPG like Fable 2, then a survival horror game like RE4 and now this... And there are rumors of co-op in God of War 3 which are simply disgusting. Kratos is a lone warrior, the Ghost of Sparta.
As for Prince, I really hope if that's true, the player that plays Elike is not just a copy of Prince but with a female model.
A bit late to bother implementing it, it was looks like a very average title.
Possibly an option for both camps? Does that want Co-op can play in this mode, and those that don't can play in the mode we know of at this point?
Really look forward to the game,looks to be everything you want from a Prince game,exploration,platforming,e tc,etc...
Looks like they have gone back to the original early 90's gameplay,with added muscle from this gen's systems...
I am not a big fan of cell shading,however,this look,a "painterly" touch looks very promising...
