"We certainly have plans for downloadable content," confirmed Mattes in a video interview for French site Gamersyde, which was cleverly spotted by Eurogamer.

"The intention is to do downloadable content that adds significant value, so I don't think you'll see downloadable content of a new skin or a new weapon or something like that," he added.

Mattes elaborated to describe what shape the DLC could take. "[Maybe] it's going to be a new story, a new experience, maybe a prequel, maybe a sequel--we're going to do something that really offers a lot of value for the player," he explained.

Sporting colorful new visuals to complement the series' wall-running, leaping and bounding, Prince of Persia lands for consoles on December 2 followed by the PC release on December 9. The promised DLC will arrive "sometime next year."
