Well, everyone here already knew, but the official-official confirmation (via Ubisoft press release) has been made. Even John Porcaro of GamerScoreBlog acknowledges this as old news.

Hopefully this revamp of this classic game will live up to the hype. Anyone spending some more points this week?

Game Features

• Enhanced character designs, animations and visuals
• New traps, puzzles and enemies to tackle further augment the classic experience
• 12 Achievements will be available – ranging from the simple (finding the sword in the first level) to the near impossible (finding all the potions in the game or finishing the game without dying!)
• The title will feature 3 different leaderboards:
• Normal Mode: Complete the game as fast as possible, which saves at the end of each level
• Time Attach Mode: Complete the game as fast as possible – but be prepared to start from the beginning if you fail to save the Princess in under 60 minutes
• Survival Mode: Complete the entire game in under 60 minutes – without dying
