Sky is Coming to PC
That probably looked familiar to those of you who’ve played Journey, and that’s because Sky elaborates on all of Thatgamecompany’s prior work. You play as a child of light (sadly notthat one) and you chase a series of shining monuments that are almost always visible in the distance, playfully gliding, sliding, and maybe crying along the way.
One of the most effective parts of Journey was the quiet multiplayer elements. As you flew and ran around the desert, you’d sometimes come across other players who you could share the adventure with; only communicating through musical chimes and spamming the jump button to catch their attention. Those ambient bits of multiplayer are thoughtfully expanded in Sky, with flocks of cloaked players flying through the world, rather than just one. Everything still feels very gentle and thoughtful, though: there’s no voice chat, you can only communicate with others after sharing gifts, and you can even hold hands - letting someone else guide you.
No release window yet for Sky: Children Of The Light, but it’ll be a free downloadon Steamwhen it does launch. The game’s also available on mobile, Switch, and Playstations.
