So, the same team that brought us the perfection of Sands of Time and the visual beauty of Assassin's Creed, has promised us the next two chapters of the PoP story this very year.
I for one am very interested in this "illustrative art style". If it's like Okami, with a Persian twist (and, y'know, more detailed textures) I will be in love with this game from the first screens.
The official site has been updated, featuring some sort of black goo oozing around and then engulfing what I assume to be an Arabic word/phrase. Jordan Mechner also recently registered the trademark for "Prince of Persia Prodigy," but no word on if that's the name of the new game.

I really bloody enjoy this franchise - don't shoot, I only played the Sands of Time trilogy, because it was a freebie - yet I'm suprised that they have got a release for it this year. I would have expected a tie-in for the Bruckheimer film, but maybe that'll happen too.
I am all for the POP games and I enjoyed them, but now I don't know i hope it is more puzzle based like SOT a nice blend of puzzle and action, i hope they try something new as well.
Seems like I have to hurry and finish Sands of Time and the two sequels before the Fall.... how am I gonna squeeze that in between all the other stuff?
I still need to play through and finish Sands of Time. I plan on buying up the trilogy for when I head off to college. I'm not taking my Wii from my brother (freshmen in high school), so I've got my trusty old Gamecube and my N64 to look forward to.

From what I have heard, it's gonna have nothing to do with the sands of time. It's a new prince... new everything. I just wonder what the story is going to be about?
I noticed a piece of artwork online (in a youtube video) that shows the Prince descending from a wall by hanging onto it with some sort of a gauntlet. I saw in another piece of artwork the new Prince with the gauntlet being held directly in front of his face.
Obviously, there's gonna be something to do with that gauntlet on his hands. Possibly an equivalent to the Dagger of Time in the SoT trilogy.
Anyway, I loved the SoT trilogy, and I milked the games for everything they're worth. I hope to come to love this new approach the series as well, and I don't doubt I will.
There's a feature article about it in the new Game Informer magazine. It looks awesome.
I think the gauntlet is just going to be a weapon; there's going to be a girl named Elika that he meets and from what I can tell, will possibly be able to fill a similar purpose as the Dagger, in terms of rewinding/changing things.
That trailer is just killer. It's reminding me more and more of how big a fan I actually am of the franchise. "Holiday 2008" cannot come soon enough (not that 2009 can either).
