This is interesting... This could be the name of the next game or the graphic novel that might be coming out soon...

Prince of Persia Prodigy
04.22.08 | No Comments

On April 15, 2008, video game designer Jordan Mechner, the creator and owner of the Prince of Persia game franchise, filed to protect the trademark 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".

Since Mechner is the owner of the trademarks Prince of Persia, Prince of Persia The Sands of Time, Prince of Persia Warrior Within and Prince of Persia The Two Thrones, and has licensed the property to Ubisoft for the aforementioned games, Mork suspects that Prince of Persia Prodigy might be the name of the next-gen sequel to the Sands of Time trilogy that has been rumored about since 2006.

In addition, a Prince of Persia film is currently in pre-production and will be directed by Mike Newell and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. When Gamasutra asked Mechner in December of 2007 regarding the connection between the name of the film and the name of future Prince of Persia games, he refused to comment, suggesting there might be a connection.

Late last year, Surfer Girl Reviews claimed that Prince of Persia 4 would be called Prince of Persia Ghosts of the Past. But given this new trademark filing, and the fact that the Ghosts of the Past name has not been trademarked or mentioned since, Mork wonders if Mechner and Ubisoft have either changed their minds with regard to the name, or have some other version or platform port in the works.

Yeah I saw some part of the filing I think, don't remember where earlier today. It had Ubisoft...something at the bottom. So, I'd say game-related for sure. Though I am looking foward to seeing something on these graphic novels too.

Actually the title hasn't been officially confirmed by Ubisoft as being "PoP Prodigy", that's just speculation at this point.

I'm going to break the mold here and say that I actually like 'Prodigy'.

Sure, it doesn't sound as cool as 'Ghosts of the Past' but its definitions give us various things to possibly look forward to as well as theorise upon in regards to it's possible storyline.

1) A person with exceptional talents or powers.
2) An act or event so extraordinary or rare as to inspire wonder.
3) A portentous sign or event; an omen.

Surely Ghost of the Past sounds much much cooler than Prodigy but like ALex said there is no official confirmation on the title. We should wait a bit to give any views on the title.

He he, oh god, you're completely right!EekRazz

*Zips lips...Angel*

Well hopefully, at least in my opinion, the name Prodigy will turn out to be what it is at the moment...mere speculation. I just keep associating it with that band from the 90s, the one with the song "Firestarter". And I was not a fan at all of that song...or the group for that matter...so the name Prodigy just brings back bad memories from my teen years.Shady

Anyways, if it's a great game then the name isn't really important, I mean I got used to Nintendo's Wii after all...Razz

I'll have you know, I look fabulous with braided hair Big GrinRazz

WW was a good game, but anyone who tries to tell me that the developers weren't trying to appeal to the 18-35 MALE demographic through the use of all that grunting and sandy blood cakes (not to mention the iron thongs and skanky, backache-inducing, barely covered 'mammary glands'), needs a soap up their mouth Big Grin

I don't mind Prodigy actually... but I'll be alright with whatever they come up with. They didn't listen to us when making the Sands of Time, and that was the best game in the series.
As long as they don't name it 'Prince of Persia: Bunnies Extraordinaire' or something Indifferent

It has a nice ring to it though Razz
