Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Revitalizes Franchise with Persian Localization and Cultural Representation

The game, developed by Ubisoft Montpellier, has been praised for its innovative features and its respectful and detailed incorporation of Persian history and mythology.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, developed by Ubisoft Montpellier, is a Metroidvania-style game set in the city of Mount Qaf, casting players in the role of Sargon, a warrior from The Immortals clan tasked with rescuing Prince Ghassan.
The game features a Memory Shard system, which allows players to take a picture of a part of the world and add it to their map for easy revisiting, and a rhythmic combat system that works in harmony with the game's platforming and navigation elements.
The Lost Crown is the first Western game to be fully localized into Persian (or Farsi), a language spoken by around 130 million people worldwide, primarily in Iran and Afghanistan.
The game draws heavily from real Persian and Iranian history and mythology, creating a fantasy in which Persian and other Indo-Iranian peoples can find meaningful representation.
The Lost Crown has received positive reactions from the Iranian gaming community, and is seen as a significant step forward for the representation of Persian culture in video games.
