thatgamecompany today announced that Sky: Children of the Light will be launching on PlayStation consoles this December 6th, 2022.
PlayStation players can look forward to wandering Sky: Children of the Light’s beautiful world, unraveling its history and forming bonds with other adventurers from around the globe—all in a free-to-play experience with cross-play between mobile and console.
Those hopping into Sky: Children of the Light for the first time will also have the opportunity to experience a once-in-a-lifetime virtual concert with award-winning musician AURORA on December 8th. Powered by a proprietary game engine, the concert promises to be revolutionary—connecting over 4,000 players together on the same screen, at the same time, in the world’s largest virtual concert venue for a shared emotional musical journey.
In celebration of the announcement, thatgamecompany has released a breathtaking brand-new trailer. This trailer was made in collaboration with animator and YouTuber “SAD-ist”; it gives fans (new and old) a glimpse into the powerful story within Sky: Children of the Light. Earlier this year, SAD-ist released a fan video, self-described as “a love letter to the community and creators.” Moved by this video, the team at thatgamecompany connected with SAD-ist to produce this trailer.
To further commemorate both the launch and the shared history between thatgamecompany and PlayStation, Sky: Children of the Light players will be able to purchase a Journey Pack that includes a bundle of items inspired by the iconic 2012 thatgamecompany title Journey. The Journey Pack is $24.99 USD and comes with a cape, hood and mask, each featuring the same designs worn by the Journey avatars who once traversed desert sands.
