A few months ago, Ubisoft announced a few new games under their UbiART branding, one being the game Child of Light. This game and what has been seen of it so far has captured the imagination of many gamers, offering up a whimsical style and ethereal mood.
Now, a video has been released with demo footage of the game’s mechanics, and lead programmer Brianna Cole gives us a look at some of the combat and exploration.
The game has been described as “a reimagining of classic fairytales, inviting players on an epic adventure into the magical painted world of Lemuria”—with turn-based RPG combat, side-scrolling exploration, and an online messaging system.
Launching sometime in 2014 for the Wii U (and elsewhere), it’ll be interesting to see if the game is all style, or if there’s substance deeper within.
