Music label Warner disclosed that a 40-track greatest hits collection called Prince 4Ever will be out next month.
The compilation will include previously unreleased song Moonbeam Levels, which was recorded in 1982.
On a serious note, a lot of fans will be familiar with the song because it has been leaked online and was covered by Elvis Costello in 2013.
Also, this was supposed to have appeared in the funk master's late-1980s unfinished album Rave Unto The Joy Fantastic.
The label also announced it will reissue the 1984 classic Purple Rain next year, accompanied by "a second album of previously unreleased material".
It comes as his estate moves forward on a business plan for his vast holdings.
Prince died of an accidental painkiller overdose in April.
He left no will, but there are vaults full of unreleased material at his Paisley Park estate in Minnesota.
The judge overseeing his estate will have to sort out a complex interplay between probate and parentage laws.
It was also gathered that Prince's siblings claim a woman and a girl purported to be his niece and grandniece have no genetic connection to the late superstar and should not be named as heirs.
According to report, Warner also had a notoriously complicated relationship with the artist.
Furthermore, in the early 1990s, Prince changed his name to the unpronounceable love symbol and wrote "slave" on his cheek in a protest against contractual terms with the label.
Prince reconciled with Warner in 2014 but remained a critic of the industry and the power music labels hold over artists.
