Give me the clowns instead.

[ᛁᛖᛊᚢᛊ ᚨᚱ ᚷᚢᛞ]

It's a reasonable question. Why isn't it called Prince of Africa? Prince of Wakanda?

[Kai]

Dude even if it was japan, theyd do the same.

Wait, they already did lol

The character you play as is not the prince.

Please don't be simple. While he does look partially African its more North-East African (Egypt, Libya, Sudan etc) which is not far from Persia (where Iran is now located) Know your continents.

Persia is very far from Africa.
Arabs in Egypt Libya and Sudan do not have natural dreadlocks nor do they have a sub-saharan phenotype.

How much copium did you inject before you wrote this comment?

Your logic is impeccable,a country is "close" to another continent so naturally the population includes lots of sub-saharan Africans even though they live as far away from Persia as Romanians do.

Let's use your pristine logic here. Since Romania is the same distance from Persia as sub-saharan Africans are. That must mean that we should expect lot's of Romanian protaganists in the upcoming Prince of Persia games. Nepal is also aproximately the same distance from Iran and so is China.

So naturally we should have Chinese and Nepalese protaganists as well right?

It's not at all strange or unfitting to see them in a PERSIAN setting.

Bruuuh, you must be taking the maximum dose of copium possible. You're gonna overdose.

Because Ubisoft thought this could sell.

Like I said...know your continents...and some history would help. Much better than throwing around intelligent words like 'copium'

Persia conquered the Egyptians and their influence would have spread to surrounding countries. Meaning mixed marriages and offspring.
Now do yourself a huge favor and google where dreads originated from. Write it down so you don't forget.

Dreads originated from Ancient Greece. That is a fact, google it yourself.

Yikes...

The protagonist is not the Prince of Persia.
The reason why the game is still called PoP is because Ubisoft was hoping brand recognition would bring in sales.
The reason he's black is because Ubisoft likes to virtue signal and raise their ESG score.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
