Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot expects critical praise for the next installment of the revered Prince of Persia franchise.

"Already, there"s a number of good marks. We have 8s, some 9s and one 10. But we"re still waiting for a lot of marks to come. So altogether, at the moment [scores are around] high 8s. We hope it can be in the 9s, but [we expect] it to be 8.5 and 9.2 or 3," Guillemot said during a Wednesday earnings call.

Prince of Persia is under development at Ubisoft Montreal, and is slated to release on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 in early December.
