Ubisoft isn't shying away from the fact that "Prince of Persia" ends with a cliffhanger -- in fact, they're rather hoping it will sell three more hours of gameplay come Feb. 26. That's when the aptly-named "Prince of Persia Epilogue Downloadable Content" will arrive on Xbox LIVE and PlayStation Network, with a "new epic journey" in a corrupted region called "The Underground Palace."

But according to an interview at IGN, there's rather more to this DLC than a new area. Ubisoft associate producer Jamal Rguigui said that the "Epilogue DLC" will change the dynamics of PoP gameplay by adding a pair of new moves, fiercer foes and more difficult traps -- and will include plenty of new dialogue and character development to go with them.

New achievements and trophies will also be part of the mix.

Pricing has yet to be announced; hit the jump for the bullet-pointed press release.
