After 14 years, Ubisoft brought Prince of Persia back to the gaming scene. And for the first time, the Prince speaks in “his mother tongue”, more precisely in the language of the part of the world where he comes from – in Persian, or Farsi.
In addition, the new game, whose full title is “Prince of Persia: The Last Crown”, is the first sequel in a long-running franchise developed by Ubisoft Montpellier, a branch of the French gaming industry giant known for the development of the second mega-series of games with a historical background – Assassin’s Creed, but also very high-quality 2D “scroll” games Rayman Legends and Valiant Hearts.
Prince has always drawn on Persian mythology and Iranian culture, but this is the first time that it has not been primarily localized into English, with which the French company wants to “pay homage to Persia and Iran“, he reports BBC.

“From the very beginning, we wanted to represent Persia and Iran, and to show our respect to them. It was completely natural for us to say that if we are already dealing with some part of that culture, then we have to be authentic to that culture and we have to do that.” , said game designer Munir Radi.
By the way, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is a 2.5D action “scroll” game available for all platformswhich also has a Deluxe edition that brings fans more additional content.
The authors tried to modernize the game, the first in the series since The Forgotten Sands from 2010, if we don’t count “spin-off” titles and remake versions of older games. The graphics, inspired by Sony’s animated hit, have been improved.

The second modernization involved creating an authentic atmosphere in the game, in a way that this series had never done before. So, for example, elements of the Zoroastrian religion, which was founded on the territory of today’s Iran, were inserted into it.
Game producer Abdelhak Elges is in favor BBC said they are in the development team “very proud” of what they managed to make such changes.
“We have so many people from Persian cultures who are very happy,” stated Radi.
Happy are the fans of the game who believe that by inserting Persian language Ubisoft made a “big step forward”, considering that, in their opinion, Iran and Persian culture are “underrepresented in today’s world which is oversaturated with the contents of Western culture”.
A free demo of the game Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is available on the publisher’s website.
