Metroidvania isn’t typically known for its accessibility. So, when the Prince of Persia team decided to delve into this genre while also integrating intricate combat mechanics and intense platforming sections, we anticipated a daunting challenge.

In this talk, Rémi BOUTIN will delve into the philosophy and process the team employed to design and ensure the game was as accessible as possible, despite facing production and resource constraints.
