Prince of Persia co-op: 'possibility' being explored
In an upcoming interview with Videogaming247, Prince of Persia's "community development manager" Chris Easton apparently backtracks from producer Ben Mattes' assertion that there would be no co-op support, despite the clearly cooperative gameplay between the prince and Elika, his deadly new ally.
Easton told the site, "There are no plans for co-op as of now, but we may explore the possibility" – which, according to our Noncommittal Marketing Speak to English dictionary, puts the chances of co-op being added into the game somewhere between "not happening" and "potentially not not happening." For what it's worth, Joystiq would like to throw its full support behind adding more gameplay options to highly anticipated games. We know that sounds radical, but that's just how we feel.

First and foremost I'm glad that the female or princess of the game is taking a little more active role in saving the land. You know a little more than Zelda and Peach. Thats not a knock at Peach or Zelda. I'm just saying this game is geared toward old gamers so I'm happy for something more than just "save the princess".
Secondly, yeah, if they include a co-op mode I'll actually get to play WITH my girlfriend. I spoke to her over the phone about today at lunch and she said it would be way awesome if they included it for the same reason. It was on her mind too.
Like many have echoed, it'll be nice to have a game that we can play with our significant others rather than having them watch us.
