He’s the creator of Prince of Persia, that’s who.
We’re not sure if this latest trademark is a game or some sort of tie-in for the upcoming movie Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Besides making games, Mechner busies himself by writing graphic novels, directing documentaries and penning screenplays.

The trademark application only claims the mark for use in games/software, so it is definitely a game.

In other words, Jordan Mechner might be working on a Prince of Persia game?
WOOOOO!
It was his writing that made PoP: Sands of Time such an immaculate gem compared to its subsequent sequels and the 2008 reboot. And while collectively, I did enjoy their gameplay, their story, dialogue and general creative atmosphere were all somewhat lacking and I believe these are the exact things that Mechner’s involvement would drasticaly improve.
