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.

Every word true.⤴

They still haven't realised that not only does "woke"and "the message" not sell.
But it is destroying dev houses, and IPs.
And getting more so by the day.
As SO many people are increasingly speaking out....
And much more importantly, speaking with their wallets, showing just how tired they are of this narrative.

At Devs.
He is not the prince?
Why call it PRINCE of Persia.

He is not Persian.
Why call it Prince of PERSIA.

Another cash in on a successful IP.

And as of now day one, 3 hours after launch.
It has a 25 reviews "mostly positive" and a whopping 426 peeps playing.
So once again pushing the agenda didn't work.

Just make a game that stars a guy who is a prince, and Persian. How hard can that be?

Dont understand why these discussions go this long. Its obvious why they do this and its also pretty known why people come out to defend this or act oblivious to why this happens.

More forced DEI garbage, nothing new. Avoid Ubisoft until they stop drinking the juice.

mb you should read about the character first. He is not a prince itself. But he serves the current prince of persia.
Other than that - you can learn more about where does he come from in the game.

Who wants to play the slave of Persia?

Well that's dumb that you don't get to play as the real Prince of Persia, good to know

[i don't belong]

it is the same stuff we keep seeing. we will keep seeing it for a couple more years sadly, until all the inclusive products die away.

No, its only gonna get irreparably ruined.

They started doing it to DC and marvel comics way back in 2013 - 2015, agenda driven retcons, raceswaps, genderswaps, replacements, piggybacking, and if you said anything you were straight up attacked as it was early and people didnt catch on. Even around SW EP 7, they couldnt/wouldnt believe it when you pointed out Rey and everything wrong with the sequels and it being woke.

Now look at marvel/dc and star wars. They cannot be fixed without decades of retcon and complete organisation replacement, which cannot happen. Thus its all ruined. its all rotten and gone.

Keep letting these slide and see how they ruin your franchises, steal it from you and give it to people who dont even care for it but just want to ruin it to make themselves feel better.

Ubisoft has lost more than 75% of its value over the past 5 years. Over 40% of that value loss has taken place in the past 12 months. Given their current trajectory, Ubisoft cannot continue to do this for a couple more years. If they were to continue to decline at the pace they have over the past year they will be bankrupt by next Summer and if they continue to decline at the rate they have over 5 years then they will be bankrupt by next Christmas. You absolutely love to see it! Praise the Sun!!

Have you seen the interview with George Lucas, who between the lines, shows how sick he is, what they did to his "baby"
Especially with the atrocious "acolyte."
Even IMDB who try to hide negative reviews, couldn't save that trash from a 4 out of 10 score.

This was clever, and so true.

Truer words. 100%

I wold own this now, and be playing it, if he had been the Prince, and been Persian.
As would SO SO SO MANY MORE than the 434 people currently playing.

Another missed opportunity.
While pandering / cowering to the message.
What a pity. 😌

[Star Rain]

To be fair the game is like a year old?

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?

You're not playing the prince, you're playing a soldier.

The region that was Persia is now Iran and was known to have Afro-Iranians, look it up:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afro-Iranians

It's not the entire population, but they did exist and some were soldiers.

Trading brought people to all of those regions.

Even the mention of that crap made me cringe.

Ubi is going the same direction. What do you expect from a company full of employees selected and promoted cos of quota, blackmail but no skill. They have to use minorities and lgbt as sheilds for their garbage product.

Dont even want to waste time talking about this garbage game. cant wait for Ubi to go bankrupt.

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.

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.

Ancient Persia is not the Persia represented in the game..
