Re-awakening a Classic: Prince of Persia: A Case Study,
2570

Production, Lecture

Yannis Mallat
Executive Producer, Ubi Soft Entertaintment
While still beloved by many, the Prince of Persia franchise was to be buried into oblivion when one up-rising studio started to blow off the dust. Lying below were tremendous efforts of a team, confidence & doubts under pressure, clear goals & fuzzy means, creation & multi-platform production management and the most humane adventure epic. Therefore, the Flame could light the Shadow for good.

How did we approach such a license? How, from deep within the concept, can we guarantee a game that is deserving of the original legacy? And how to ensure the success of 15-years; could it really survive the technology?

The session shares how the Prince of Persia team overcame these challenges, while keeping a backbone methodology and production process. Maintaining the right balance of creation versus production is among the answers.

But it raises a more fundamental question. As Hollywood is cashing in on big remakes, it seems more difficult for video-games… What are remakes and their chances of success in our industry?
