It seems we've jumped the gun. There's a bit of an update for those folks who read our previous article on the latest Prince of Persia game. We've found a new advisory on the Ubisoft forums stating that "Heir Apparent" isn't actually the name of the game.

Here's the announcement written by bitebug2003 over on the Ubi forums:

Rumors have popped up that the new Prince of Persia game is called “Heir Apparent.” This is not the case! The origin of the mistake is in the title of the Game Informer article on Prince of Persia called Heir Apparent.

Just to clarify: The Heir Apparent is the name of the article, and it is NOT the name of the new game.

No name has officially been announced.

We'll have to wait a bit longer for a final name to be announced. In the meantime, you'll notice that we've reverted all of the "Prince of Persia: Heir Apparent" categories on the PC, PS3, Xbox 360 and DS back to Prince of Persia. While we wait for the game's official title to be announced by Ubisoft, feel free to call the game what you will.

Kudos to CamHostage for the heads up!
