First Prince of Persia game in 14 years voiced in Farsi

Fans say they welcome developers' attempt to represent better the culture of Persia and Iran.

The first new version of cult video game Prince of Persia in 14 years has been released, called The Lost Crown, and it is the first edition in the series to be fully voiced in Farsi. "When I saw the tweet announcing Farsi would be a full game audio option for The Lost Crown, I half thought it was a joke," said Mr Mandi-Gohmi, who lives in the UK. But another part of modernising the game involved making it authentic in a way the series never was before, for example by weaving elements of the Zoroastrianism religion - which was founded in present-day Iran - into the gameplay.
