There’s a bit of trivia about this game that is worth mentioning. After many years since its initial release, the 2024 version of Prince of Persia called The Lost Crown also offers an audio version in Farsi, the language spoken in what was formerly Persia and that is now Iran. This was widely reported in the news because the game itself is heavily inspired by Persia and its mythology, so it was appropriate and respectful to add the Farsi language to pay tribute to Persian culture. Many users have praised the developers for representing the Iranian community and culture in the game, as language is a key component in gameplay.
