For the first time, Ubisoft have released a Prince of Persia game with an option to have all the characters fully voiced in Farsi. It says it wants Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown to "depict and respect Persia and Iran". The game has great reviews and a lot of Iranian fans are very excited they鈥檒l be able to experience it in their own language.

What does this say about culturally sensitivity in gaming?

We hear from Alireza Vasefi, an Iranian games reporter for 大象传媒 Persian Click, who鈥檚 played the series for years. He explains what the language option means to him.

We鈥檙e also joined by Kirsty Evers who wrote a study about gaming cultural stereotypes. She found that a majority of her participants wanted to see better representation.
