Ubisoft is rumored to be making a new 2D Prince of Persia game built with the UbiArt Framework engine – the same tech used in the creation of Rayman Legends and Child of Light.
French website Le Portail du Jeu Video claims that the title utilizes “the same techniques of animation [as used] in the last Rayman” and has the Prince’s body “divided into several parts (torso, pelvis, leg, shin, foot, forearm, hands, etc..) that can be animated independently of each other.”
The site goes on to say, “This provides a real diversity / credibility in the postures and movements of the hero…. The quality of the work is to believe [it is] 3D modelling [with] transitions [that are] are fluid and feel well made.”
Officially, Ubisoft has said that the publisher “does not comment on rumours or speculation”.
A couple of tidbits about Disney Infinity 2.0 have appeared from a report on the official Disney Fan Club D23 – including a release window.
D23, which has since pulled its post, stated that Disney Infinity 2.0 will launch this August. The game will feature “familiar Marvel characters, objects, and vehicles”.
Official details about Disney Infinity 2.0 will be shared during a reveal event on April 30.
