Netflix Weighs in with Sky: Children of the Light Animated Series Adaptation
Netflix is once again putting its money where its mouth is with the announcement of a Sky: Children of the Light animated series adaptation. The teaser, entitled ‘Two Embers’, gave us a brief look at the world of Sky, and the unique creative vision of the creators, thatgamecompany.
The team at thatgamecompany – the studio behind Sky: Children of the Light – have always had a knack for creating immersive and captivating experiences. This is seen in their previous award-winning title, Journey, and now their upcoming Sky: Children of the Light. As expected, the trailer gives us a glimpse of a world filled with color and creativity
The teaser primarily shows the two main characters, and the stunning scenery which surrounds them, as we hear a narrator ask the players to “breathe in the possibility and explore this magical realm”. We have yet to see any glimpses of the actual game, but from what we can tell from this brief 30-second clip, the world of Sky is going to be incredibly beautiful.
The ‘Two Embers’ teaser also introduces us to the new Netflix original series, which is expected to be released later this year. The series will be based on the world and characters of Sky: Children of the Light, and will be produced by thatgamecompany in collaboration with Netflix. We don’t have any other details yet, but from the teaser we can tell that this will be an exciting new addition to the world of animation.
As far as the actual game itself goes, we know that Sky: Children of the Light will be a multiplayer exploring title, complete with puzzles, unique characters and a vibrant world. It is expected to release on mobile and PC sometime this year, and you can already pre-register for the game on their official website.
It’s clear that this new Netflix original animated series, adapted from Sky: Children of the Light, has a lot of potential to be something truly special. With thatgamecompany, Netflix, and the beautiful art style you can expect from them, this is sure to be an experience you won’t want to miss out on.
