Ubisoft said they were planning to release downloadable content for Prince of Persia, and here it is. Today the company announced that an add-on content pack serving as a epilogue will hit on February 26, continuing the story of the Prince and Elika.

Included is an entirely new region to explore, known in name as The Underground Palace. Prince and Elika find themselves trapped in a place underneath it all and must escape. Other additions include a new power, a new dual attack, and two unlockable skins – both based on character designs from a early build of the game. Full details after the break.
