Sky: Children of the Light

An Introduction

Sky: Children of the Light is a spiritual successor to thatgamecompany’s award-winning works (Journey, Flower, flOw). The Sky online series is best described as a “social adventure” with a heartwarming story that puts compassion, friendship and wonder at the heart of its gameplay. Like all of the studio’s past works, we focus on emotion-first game experiences that are typically portrayed through art, music and player interactions, with minimal dialogue.

Children of the Light is the first chapter of an ever-expanding kingdom of adventures to follow. The studio is working towards new areas to each of the seven realms, new characters, new ways to express and build on compassion and friendship, new seasonal quests, ongoing in-world events, and much more.

Once players reach what will appear to be the end of the story mode, they will be ushered to replay and explore new corners of the realms. This allows the players to redeem every story character, unlock all friendships, constellations and collectibles as the adventures grow and expand with their progress.

Although Sky is launching on mobile first to reach as many players possible, we will also be rolling out to other platforms as we work hard to provide cross-play and connection with people all across the world.
