London, UK – March 5th, 2014 – Today, Ubisoft announced that Child of Light, the poetic turn-based RPG that will release digitally on April 30th, 2014, will also be available the same day in retail as a Deluxe Edition on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and on Windows® PC. This Deluxe Edition is available for pre-orders right now and will be available in the UK and other EMEA territories only.

The Child of Light Deluxe Edition will contain exclusive content, including a poster designed by Yoshitaka Amano, the renowned Japanese artist, a 24 page art book with unrevealed artwork and an Igniculus key ring. This boxed edition will also include additional game content, with a bonus quest, a new character and a pack of collectibles.

Additionally, the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 versions of the game, both in retail and digital, will benefit from the cross-buy option. Therefore, players buying Child of Light on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 will be able to play the game on both platforms at no additional cost.

Child of Light is created by a small team of seasoned developers based in Ubisoft Montreal. It has been developed on Ubisoft’s UbiArt Framework, a powerful engine that lets programmers and artists bring their art to life by allowing original concept art to be inserted unedited into the game world. In Child of Light, the effect is akin to stepping into an interactive painting.

Child of Light is a reimagining of classic fairytales, inviting players on an epic adventure into the magical painted world of Lemuria. Players will uncover mysteries, participate in turn-by-turn combat inspired by classic JRPGs, and explore a mystical kingdom. The game puts players in the shoes of Aurora, a child stolen from her home, who, in her quest to return, must bring back the sun, the moon and the stars held captive by the Queen of the Night. Helped by her companion Igniculus the firefly and several unlikely allies, Aurora will face her darkest fears, including dragons and other mystical creatures, in this modern take on a coming-of-age story.

The game will be available for download on Xbox LIVE for the Xbox 360 and Xbox One, the PlayStation Network for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, the eShop from Nintendo for the Wii U, and PC Digital, at the price of £11.99.

Cross-buy is a surprising news.

 

[BronsonLee]

Cross-buy is a surprising news.

It really is. I'll take it though! Great news.

 

[Goli]

Gorgeous Amano artwork.

 

[Zia]

Please be good. Please be good. Please be good.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

sweet cross buy

 

[Bassmastergeneral]

Damn I would buy that, hopefully we get this in NA

 

[Violater]

Mesmerizingly gorgeous.

 

[Impeccable]

Cross buy, fucking awesome.

 

[JaseC]

Hmm, I wonder if there'll be a DDE. I was going to pre-purchase on Steam within the next few weeks but I think I'll hold off, just in case.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Whoah, cross buy. Tempted to double dip this

Also that Amano piece looks gorgeous.

 

[Ashtar]

I might just splurge for the deluxe edition if it's 40 or less.
I'm hyped for this

 

[outunderthestars]

Looks amazing. Any word on a US deluxe edition?

 

[Wasp]

So player 2 plays as a reticule?

That's shit.

 

[Dinda]

Really looking forward to this game, a bit undecided about the platform. PC? hmm i also didn't exactly use my PS4 a lot till now. But i think i will buy it on the WiiU. Should be a great game to play on the gamepad.

April 30th...c'mon...

 

[TheRealTalker]

cross buy?


VVVHAT


good to see the system is still being carried over to the new gen

 

[StuBurns]

I'm very impressed with the value proposition, £12 day one, for both versions, and it's so pretty.

I applaud Mr Ubisoft on this.

 

[afternoon delight]

While very excited for this game, a 24 page artbook? Really? They mean pamphlet, right?

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Cross buy is the single greatest thing to happen in gaming for quite some time and it's a damn shame that MS aren't embracing it...

 

[robotnik]

Where can I pre-odrer it?

 

[ckohler]

Looking great. Glad to see it has some co-op, even if it's only in a support fashion.

Beautiful.

 

[DeviantBoi]

Dammit, why couldn't there be a Vita version.

 

[OneUh8]

Very interesting way to play coop. Will surely buy if any of my friends get in on it.

 

[shwimpy]

Confused by the excitement for crossbuy when there's no Vita version. Are people really gonna play this on PS3 as well if they have a PS4?

 

[Sophia]

Cross-buy is a nice gesture, even thought it doesn't seem very practical with it being PS3 and PS4.

 

[Paskil]

Absolutely adore the art style in this game. hope it gets a stateside release.

 

[Footos22]

Confused by the excitement for crossbuy when there's no Vita version. Are people really gonna play this on PS3 as well if they have a PS4?

I got excited till they said ps3/ps4 no point having it on both unless the game.is.amazing and warrants 2 trophy lists

 

[JetBlackPanda]

for some reason I thought this game was Wii U exclusive.

Will be getting for PC!

wait is this not confirmed for N/A?

 

[ced]

I hope the battle system is fun because everything else looks great.

 

[outunderthestars]

Confused by the excitement for crossbuy when there's no Vita version. Are people really gonna play this on PS3 as well if they have a PS4?

Well as there are currently ten times as many PS3 owners as PS4 owners, I imagine people will enjoy knowing that they can buy it on their PS3 now and still have it available when/if they upgrade to a PS4.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Where can I pre-odrer it?

Doesn't seem to be up to pre-order yet on the usual sites. Will probably show up by tomorrow...

 

[Seda]

The PR states "This Deluxe Edition is available for pre-orders right now and will be available in the UK and other EMEA territories only."

Although I'm not sure if any retailer actually has pre-orders up yet, nor do we know the price.

 

[jackissocool]

I love that Ubisoft is doing this.

 

[outunderthestars]

The game has been confirmed, but not the deluxe edition.

 

[Dragon1893]

Didn't know this had co-op. Interesting.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

The game has been confirmed, but not the deluxe edition.

that make sense. thank you.

 

[KimonoNoNo]

Kind of surprised and disappointed there's not a Vita version as well.

Personally, I'm excited because it sets an amazing precedent for Ubisoft. I didn't think they'd go for Cross-Buy. I really hope these smaller games they have coming out this year are all successful experiments. I don't want them surviving on their open world stuff forever.

 

[Takao]

Ubisoft becomes the first major third party to support Cross-Buy ...

and of course there's no Vita SKU.

 

[Durante]

So, where is the deluxe edition available for pre-order? Depending on the price I might actually be convinced to get the PC version.

That 1080p60 stream works very well! Game is really beautiful.

 

[oti]

But wait, we should be able to play it one the PS Vita over Remote Play on the PS4, right? And it's a JRPG, so no quick reflexes necessary. So basically it's Off-TV, which was the only reason I wanted to get this on the Wii U.

 

[Sendou]

So player 2 plays as a reticule?

That's shit.

Character of the year.

 

[MaximusPrimus]

It's looks so good. Is this the game that is apparently inspired by FFVI?? Day 1!

 

[lmbotiva]

this game looks so gorgeous, full of life, i need this on my veins!

 

[Doug Heffernan]

So player 2 plays as a reticule?

That's shit.

Wow, it's like devs aren't even trying anymore when it comes to co-op.

Why bother?

 

[lmbotiva]

Wow, it's like devs aren't even trying anymore when it comes to co-op.

Why bother?

a game like this needs no coop IMO, i believe that's a clever way to check that box to shut up the guys on suits asking for it

 

[Vexxan]

Gorgeous deluxe edition goodies but I'll stick with the regular edition. Hope the game turns out to be as good as it looks.
