Given how well the reboot of Prince of Persia turned out, Jordan Mechner has certainly earned the right to revisit his past works with fresh eyes, and we’ve been patiently waiting to see the new Karateka.
In a slightly underwhelming fashion, our first look at the new Karateka quietly comes courtesy of Xbox.com, where the game was recently given a database entry, and with it the first screen shots.
Based on the screens, it definitely seems like Karateka, and much more of a traditional take than the fundamental re-envisioning that occurred with Prince of Persia. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, though.
