gmaes Plot Summary
According to Ubidays Interview, a new Prince of Persia will be depicted as a wanderer at first, who while returning home from an adventure with his "bearings" and a donkey named "Lady with Treasure", to spend his rest of life in peace. But all of a sudden, he is caught by a fierce sandstorm, which throws him off of his original path, and he finds himself in a forbidden land - a mythical garden of beauty, dominated at its center by a massive Tree of Life. Imprisoned in the Tree of Life is Ahriman, the "Ancient Evil God of Darkness", who was imprisoned within the tree by his twin brother Ormazd, the "Ancient God of Light". The Prince encounters Elika, a descendant of the Ahuras, a group of people who guarded the imprisonment of Ahriman. Together, they witness the destruction of the tree. After being set free, Ahriman starts corrupting the lands with darkness and evil. Elika asks the The Prince for his help to bring back peace to the world by stopping Ahriman, and cleansing the world of it's darkness.

Proof of development for the gmaes was found when, on September 21, 2006 a leaked RAR file contained concept images, although no comment was made by Ubisoft. Also, on January 23, 2008, some screenshots from the gmaes were leaked onto the internet, and again Ubisoft made no comments.

On April 1, 2008, Ubisoft registered the domain princeofpersiaprodigy.com.
In May, 2008, Ubisoft confirmed the gmaes as a work-in-progress. They stated to expect a release at the end of 2008, and gave many details about the plot and gmaes play in this gmaes . In one such interview, they stated that the general staples of the gmaes play are to remain intact, including platforming, and combat. Although the gmaes focuses more on one-on-one combat, similar to the original Prince of Persia trilogy, rather then fighting almost dozens of enemies, like in the Sands of Time trilogy.

On May 8, 2008, Ubisoft released an official video of a concept artist designing the Prince character for the gmaes. The "speed art" video shows a full-bodied new prince to be created on Photoshop. There was another fast-forward concept art drawing video released on May 22, detailing a female character Elika
The gmaes will use a heavily modified version of the Schmitar Engine, which was also used in Assassin's Creed. Developers chose to implement an illustrative graphical style, similar to cel-shaded graphics. Other features include improved artificial intelligence, detailed graphics, rich environments and an open-world, that will allow to create a non-linear gmaes play.

Characters

The Prince, as he appears in Prince of Persia (2008).

The Prince
The Prince's character is a whole new invention of this gmaes and is totally different from the one of The Sands of Time trilogy. He is stated to be a normal person, rather a thief at first, and not a noble Prince. He is a wanderer, a vagabond, wishing to make some money and then to go back home and spend his earnings on women and luxury.

He is an extremely agile and cunning warrior, proving to be a very able swordsman. In all the concept arts, he appears clad in ninja-styled clothes with red & blue colour scheme. Significantly, in all these arts and videos, he wields a long sword, and wears a spiked gauntlet in his left hand. For the first time in any Prince of Persia game, the concept of sword and scabbard has been introduced along with the concept of a double edged sword.

Elika

The gmaes producers revealed that they wanted a secondary character, who would really be a partner to the Prince in a true sense, and "not become any kind of burden on him or his way", but being a helpful and a friendly asset. Elika is said to be a large innovation to this gmaes , as the time-controlling powers of the Prince were in The Sands of Time trilogy. She is described as a "deadly ally", and would be a strong supporting character, who will affect every aspect of the game, as she accompanies the Prince throughout the gmaes. This includes exploration, combat and puzzle-solving. She would be able to perform some special moves (in tandem with the Prince, as well as some of her own) and use her magical abilities to aid the Prince in his quest. She would guide Prince on the right track in case he is lost in his way in the gmaes and assist him in solving multiple puzzles as well.

The inspiration to create Elika was drawn from supporting characters from other media, like Elizabeth Swann from the Pirates of the Caribbean film series; Padmé Amidala from Star Wars; and Arwen from The Lord of the Rings trilogy. It was revealed that she is descended from the Ahuras and has lived in a land without any possibility to contact the outside world.
