Ubisoft Releases New Version of “Prince of Persia” with Persian Language Introduction

Ubisoft has recently unveiled a new installment of the popular video game “Prince of Persia,” which will include Persian language dialogue for the first time since its debut in 1989. This change has been met with enthusiasm from some fans who feel “appreciated.”

Titled “Prince of Persia: Lost Crown,” the game was released on Thursday for Nintendo Switch, Playstation, Xbox, and PC. It marks the first main entry in the series in almost 14 years and the first since the original release in 1989 to feature characters speaking in Persian.

Mounir Radi, the game designer, explained that the creators aimed to present Persia and Iran in an authentic and respectful manner. In an interview with BBC, he stated, “It was only natural for us to stay true to this culture.”

The game developers highlight that they have implemented several updates to attract new players, such as improved graphics inspired by the animated film “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.” Producer Abdelhak Elguess also mentioned their efforts to incorporate elements of language and history that would make the game more authentic to the depicted culture.

In one example, the developers have weaved elements of Zoroastrianism, an ancient religion founded in present-day Iran, into the gameplay. Elguess remarked, “We have many people from Persian cultures who are very pleased with this idea.”

The decision to introduce Persian dubbing has garnered recognition from Reddit users. They referenced the controversies surrounding the game “Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey” and advocated for Ubisoft to add Greek dialogue, considering the racial diversity of ancient Greeks.

For some players, the inclusion of Persian language in “Prince of Persia” serves as confirmation that they have finally been acknowledged by the gaming community.
