Ubisoft trademarks Prince of Persia Prodigy

It's been rumored for a while, and even officially confirmed for fiscal year 2008, but we really don't know much about the next Prince of Persia game. The loose talk is that the next trilogy will be a form of prequel, and it looks as though the first game of said trilogy could be called Prodigy. Recently trademarked by Ubisoft, Prince of Persia Prodigy is an admittedly vague title and could possibly refer to another PoP product, but with a new official teaser site up and the game rumored to be hitting this fall, an official name hitting now feels about right.
Furthermore, other rumors say that the game will be shown at Ubidays (an editorial event) sometime in the near future and that the game's REAL title is in fact Prince of Persia Zero. We'll just have to wait for Ubidays for more concrete info, but those with time to kill can endlessly refresh the official page to attempt to quickly decipher the writing before it's covered.

Gotta love game titles with aliteration!

wonder if the squiggle actually means anything? any language specialists in the house? maybe it's just a cool looking squiggle? who can tell? lots of question marks?

There was a leaked video online of the game. It was just a video of the in-game model of the Prince standing around though. The video was also of horrible quality, like someone had used their cell phone to capture the footage.

When the website loads, if you sit about 5ft from your screen, focus on the centre of the picture, tilt your head to the left about 45degrees, squint your eyes, and then blink really fast...
It still looks the same...!

I truly hope Ubi picked up on how much people hated what they did to the second game. If this one has another shite-rock soundtrack with preposterous villain chicks in metal bikini-armor, I'll... well, I'll probably buy it at some point anyway, because hey, PRINCE OF PERSIA man, but I'll be really pissed about it and bitch on X3F.
But please, seriously, don't do that again.
