London, UK – May 20, 2014 - Today, Ubisoft announced that Child of Light™, the turn-based RPG set in the magical world of Lemuria, will release digitally on PlayStation® Vita on July 2nd at the price of £11.99. It will also release on PlayStation® Vita in a retail Complete Edition on the same day. This boxed edition will contain all additional game contents, including a bonus quest, a new character and a pack of collectibles.

Child of Light™ is a re-imagining of classic fairytales set against a picturesque background inspired by the watercolor artworks of The Golden Age of Illustration. As a playable poem, Child of Light™ takes players on an extraordinary journey through the mystical world of Lemuria by putting them in the shoes of Aurora, a young princess who must win back the sun, the moon and the stars held captive by the mysterious Queen of the Night. A return to the classic JRPG, Child of Light™ blends together platforming and turn-based combat along while providing a rich storyline, robust soundtrack and beautifully-rendered hand drawn art style.

Child of Light™ was created by a small team of developers in Montreal using 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 directly into the game world. In Child of Light™, the effect is that playing becomes akin to stepping into an interactive painting.

Woo, PSVita got gaem!

But it will be a port to a technically inferior system, surely it does not count then?

If I can put it in my pocket and carry it around with me and the quality does not decline too much, I'm game for some gaem, FAST.

 

[CathyRina]

I was planning to buy that game anyway and yesterday I ordered my Vita!
What a ridiculously great timing.

 

[TheCasketMan]

This game runs on the Rayman engine, which runs perfectly on the Vita, so I hope it is not a bad port.

Betta bee cross buy otherwize I will be cross.

 

[GameWinner]

I was this close to buying it for Wii U just for the Off TV Play. Vita time.

 

[CompassNorth]

Don't really see what people see in this game, but great news of PS PC game port-ita Vita.

 

[VMM]

The game seems really nice, but PSVita already has it's fair share of RPGs,
I wish there were some titles announced with other genres for PSVita.

 

[Icealote]

I knew it! Time to make my wallet cry again.

Sorry, already have this via Steam. I don't need this for a system I don't even have. It would be a major downgrade anyways.

 

[Hells Malice]

I don't see how anyone could think this game will be downgraded much/at all.
Unless you've never seen the game, I guess. This isn't the new Crysis. It's a pretty looking 2D game (I believe only the player model is 3Dish?..). Even the 3DS might be able to run it, and that thing is practically a potato.

Anywho i'll be grabbing this. Seemed like a fun game, but not really something i'd sit here at my PC and play. But on the go? Hell yeah.

It won't be downgraded at all. If anything it'll be the definitive version as it has exclusive extra content. It'll look gorgeous on the OLED.

 

[WiiUBricker]

This game can already be played on the Vita with remote play using the PS4 version.

It's a downgrade from my 1080p screen to a 720p 5 inch OLED... which has the possibility of burn-in if not cared for.

The actual game is not a downgrade though and the burn in rumor was debunked ages ago as in it would take 100 years of non stop play to happen, or something like that.

 

[Satangel]

That price, wow. That's pretty cheap, well done Sony! Looks like a decent game too, I love some turn based action from time to time.

I was expecting more chapters, Child of Light is a wonderfull game, but too short. And seems that it will come with the Golem Pack, it helps, but I still think that this game desearves 30 more hours of gameplay

If you can put a Vita on your pocket, you have extra huge pockets

This game runs on the Rayman engine, which runs perfectly on the Vita, so I hope it is not a bad port.

That's the point! Rayman do not runs perfectly on Vita, BUT, the major rip off of vita version are the boss models, that were made in 3D. There is no such thing on Child of Light, so that's why I think that it should work just fine...

"It's a downgrade from my gigantic screen to a small one!"

Welcome to the portable world, what year do you live in, 1989? Like of course it's on a smaller screen but it's A) OLED and B) portable. If you don't want that then fine. But a "downgrade" it's not, just an alternative.
