It should come as little surprise, but the original Prince of Persia is coming to Xbox Live Arcade with a new artistic spit-shine, courtesy of Ubisoft and developer Gameloft. The game was previously rumored to head to the Xbox 360 when ratings from Germany's USK and our own ESRB popped up, but today Ubisoft makes the game's existence official alongside releasing some new screens of the 2.5D remake.

There are four shots of Prince of Persia Classic in the gallery below which... wait... Gameloft?! The mobile phone guys? Wow. Anyway, the game looks pretty solid and, I'll assume, plays nearly identical to the original. Michael McWhertor
