Earlier this month, on April 1, Ubisoft registered the domain princeofpersiaprodigy.com. On April 15, Prince of Persia creator Jordan Mechner filed to protect the trademark for "Prince of Persia Prodigy "(in relation to "game software and electronic game programs; electronic game software for mobile phones, personal digital assistants, and handheld computers"). Sometime last week I accidentally posted a community blog about Prince of Persia Prodigy which I was -- for some reason -- convinced was a game, and removed it before anyone saw it (and if you did, I'm going to have to kill you). So what do we have here with this "Prince of Persia Prodigy" business? Some have speculated that it's related to the currently-in-production film. More likely, the title is a next-gen sequel to Ubisoft's Sands of Time trilogy. With this year's Ubisoft media day taking place in May, it's only a matter of time before info and screens start appearing online or in print. The Web site, princeofpersiaprodigy.com has gone semi-live, but offers no real clues as to what we can expect. Would a kind reader continually hit "F5" until something happens? Thanks!

More from this author: 
That image was used in the back page of the last issue of Edge magazine. So, I am guessing that they have the exclusive first preview of the title.
Sands of Time has one of the greatest narratives ever told in gaming, and one of the best story telling elements ever.
Didn't care much for the others. The combat was better, but the story was just...ugh. Hopefully Ubisoft get back to the whole "Arabian Nights" feel of Sands and not the grungy emo bullshit they pulled in the sequels.
@ RJG:
Agreed. I was a pretty big fan of all of the games, but only because I was able to look past the odd direction they took the Warrior Within and the third game, Prince of Darkness/Two Princes/FaceOff whatever the hell it was called.
For what it's worth, if you rotate that pic 90° counter clockwise you get a couple of arabic words. I can't read it though...
Yeah, the first Sands of Time was a favorite, never gave the sequels a chance.
But whatever this is, I'm intrigued.
"Coooome plaaaaaaay moiiii gaaaaame"
I loved the first, hated the second, and again loved the third. Can't wait for a new one...
It's a Prince of Persia typing game.
Sorta reminds me of The Pirates of Dark Water, maybe the sands of time got into the ocean, and made the Black water of Space or something.
I really liked the last few games. I mean Warrior Within had some issues, but it was still pretty good. SoT and The Two Thrones were great in my opinion. I just loved the platforming in all of them. Awesome stuff. As far as what the words say, someone said to me elsewhere it was either telescope or Minjar (a name). Can't wait to see this game though. It seems that EDGE and GAME REACTOR will have previews in their next issues in the first half of May and the game should appear at Ubidays which is May 28-29 (I think). Hopefully a magazine will have it here in the U.S. too.
I hope it's a game and not a movie, I want another prince of persia game.
