We may not have any definitive screens for the game, and we may not have all the information on it yet, but Game Informer sure does in the June Issue. Here are some tidbits regarding Prince of Persia: Heir Apparent, which is scheduled to hit this fall:
- Elika, the female, is expected to revolutionize the role of a supporting character
- Vast outdoor spaces as opposed to mainly indoor exploring like in past games
- Graphically, it will be cell-shaded, like a storyboard
If you subscribe to GI, you can look forward to some more information on the new PoP game, and according to Game Informer “the cell-shaded art approach is not the only exciting change the newest iteration has to offer.”
Ubidays is coming up pretty soon, so expect to see loads more information pop up for Heir Apparent in the not so distant future.
Heir Apparent is really confusing me – why did the name Prince of Persia Prodigy get patented? Is this a second game coming or did they just have two different titles ready for the game a the toss of a coin decided which it would be? Or is this the name of the much ballyhooed movie coming out? Hopefully we will find out soon enough, so we will just keep our yes open until Ubisoft can confirm the title and anything else for us.

“Elika, the female, is expected to revolutionize the role of a supporting character”
I have a feeling this means one of a few things:
1- you can control her at some points (been done)
2- you can tell her what to do and where to go (been done)
3- she has a complex and deep back story (been done)
4- all of the above (been done)
not quite sure how you can “revolutionize” something like a supporting character since most of the major avenues for it have already been done in practically every genre of games.

Perhaps it alludes to a co-op mode…
