Wouldn't he be the king by the time the game is released?

Among the pages and pages of Ubisoft's latest finacial reports, among which include word of increased revenue thanks to Ubi's well-rounded game lineup (which also bagged them a Louie Award), a simple statement from president Yves Guillemot confirms what seemed to be a no-brainer after the original game was released: A Prince of Persia sequel.
