Ubisoft is currently the third-party western publisher with the most titles scheduled for the 3DS launch, with over six games in development from its most popular franchises.

And there may be a secret seventh project in the works.

Eagle-eyed Linked-in watchers at Siliconera have spotted an unusual job description for the lead level designer of the DS versions of Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands and The Fallen King, Kharijah Imad. Imad describes his latest project as being ‘Lead Design on a project not announced on Nintendo 3DS’

While this isn’t a guarantee that the unannounced project is another Prince of Persia game, it is one of the few current major franchises missing from Ubi’s announced titles, and who better to head up design than someone who’s performed the role for the franchise in the past?
