Learn More About How to Celebrate Black History Month!
At KingsIsle Entertainment, we recognize that Black History Month is more than just a celebration; it is an opportunity to learn, reflect, and grow. Every year, the founders of Black History Month, The Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH), establish a theme to assist participants in acknowledging advancements and history in a variety of categories. This year’s theme is “African Americans and Labor,” honoring the vital contributions of Black labor and acknowledging the injustices faced along the way.
The theme highlights the diverse forms of work performed by African Americans, from agricultural labor during slavery to modern-day professions. It also emphasizes the historical impact of Black labor in building and shaping the nation, while recognizing the challenges and injustices, including exploitation and employment discrimination.
To learn more about “African Americans and Labor,” please visit the 2025 Black History Theme Executive Summary by the Association for the Study of African American Life and History.

I have played wizard since 2009 and am very excited to see the new content come to life bravo kings isle on including the black history aspect into the game.
❤
With everything happening right now, thank you for saying something. February is still black history month, and we need to say it if no one else will. I’m happy to still be playing this game after all these years, and even happier to see this.
Thank you guys for the representation. As a Black Woman in America, I really appreciate it and I love the game as well. So much so I always want it to expand, especially with the character customization. This is a great direction but I just wanna add, if you guys would continue adding more hairstyles and clothing, all buyable with gold and more colors for all those and that includes skin colors, let our wiz be green if they want to. It adds that wizardry charm. I have so many ideas for the game that I just want someone to listen to.
I saw this post pop up on the login screen yesterday and had to click on it. I thought this was a really nice post and I’m happy to see the creator shout outs, especially Ultimate Speedster, as well as the possible new hairstyles in the game. Happy Black History Month!
Honestly, the new hairstyles seem nice, but I’d like to see KI come out with more than just four new ones. I think it would be better to have like 12 more new hairstyles with both short and long options that all wizards could choose from.
amazing
This was a great and wonderful read, but will the Pirate101 players also be getting an opportunity to change their player design in the name of representation? I strongly believe this Pirate101 players should be afforded this opportunity as well.
well timed, i love this ❤
this is really nice! keep it up
love an inclusive game ❤
nice 🙂
Thank you kingsisle
Happy Black History Month
I’ve been playing this game since it first came out, and I still adore it. It’s amazing to see the community you guys have created and the representation you include within the game. Keep up the wonderful work!
