RUMOR: Next Prince of Persia title was named, briefly

via PS3 Fanboy


If you like to hit the refresh button a lot and happened to be on the UK retailer Play's website, you might have caught a glimpse of the future (the humor in that statement will come later). The listing was taken down almost immediately, but for a few minutes there was on the website the new Prince of Persia game and its supposed subtitle. Tentatively dubbed "Ghost of the Past" (so you get the glimpse of the future reference now?), the new title raises a few questions about the game.

First and foremost -- what's the past being referred to? A lot of people will think "oh, it's a prequel" or "oh, an old boss/enemy will come back". We're going to take a slightly different stance. The next game will take place in the future -- not future future, but a while after the events of the Prince trilogy. The ghost is the old prince himself -- his actions from the past, namely changing the present/future, will come into play with the new character. His environments will change in semi-real time as the prince of old keeps screwing around with time. Make sense? If that's not the case, then damn it all, we should patent that idea because it could rock our socks off.
