Metroidvanias have long been an genre favoured by indies, but The Lost Crown could change that.

The success of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown demonstrates that bigger developers can also find success in the Metroidvania genre, opening up the possibility for more big-budget games in this style.
While there may be concerns about AAA developers bringing a sense of staleness to the genre, with careful handling, Metroidvania games can deliver a premium experience alongside the more experimental indie titles.
