Ubisoft wasn’t showing off much of its new Prince of Persia title at the Ubidays event in San Francisco earlier this month, but it did trot out producer Ben Mattes to acrobatically dodge - and sometimes answer - the queries of a room full of journalists left unsated by the beautiful, if not particularly informative, CGI teaser trailer.
First, what do we call it? Though the Ubidays press materials listed the title’s name as Prince of Persia Prodigy, the very same name recently trademarked by the IP-owner Jordan Mechner, Mattes wouldn’t confirm that that was the final title: “I don’t think we’ve announced the final title.”
If you’re still unable to wrap your head around where this new prince fits into the existing franchise, Mattes wants you to forget about everything that’s come before. “The Sands of Time trilogy is over. We’re finished that story,” he explains for what we’re guessing is the hundredth time that day. “It’s a new prince, with new challenges. There’s no chronological connection with what’s gone on in the past.”
