Nearly a decade since his last videogame, Prince of Persia creator Jordan Mechner is returning to his roots with a remake of the celebrated hit that launched his career: Karateka.

Mechner told Wired.com that he would release the Karateka reboot as a downloadable game for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 later this year. He designed and programmed the original Apple II computer game in his dorm room at Yale University. It was eventually ported to many other platforms but never had a sequel or remake.
