Child of Light 2 Seemingly Leaked by Ubisoft Creative Director
Just this past week, Ubisoft announced that two of their titles would be coming to the Switch later this year. Child of Light and Valiant Hearts – both developed using the UbiArt framework – will be arriving on the hybrid console on Oct 11 and Nov 8, respectively. Ubisoft hasn’t confirmed if both of the titles will be coming physically in any type of way, but we can assume that they will be available via the eShop at least.
The creative director behind Child of Light and VP FunHouse at Ubisoft Montreal, Patrick Plourde, tweeted a photo of Child of Light running on the Nintendo Switch with him stating that “we have this thing up and running.” If you take a closer look at the tweet below, you can clearly see in the background that there is a packet titled as “Child of Light II” which obviously pertains to a sequel of the beloved 2014 RPG.
Sorry for the long silence. But we have this little thing up and running 🙂 #childoflight #switch pic.twitter.com/M6k1xoXX8F

Back in 2015, he confirmed that other projects related to Child of Light were in the works, which only makes sense considering the game did quite well in terms of reception when it launched.
If you missed out on Child of Light, here’s a quick synopsis of the story:
“Child of Light tells the coming-of-age story of Aurora, a young girl struggling to save the lost kingdom of Lemuria and her ailing father. Created as a modern reimagining of childhood fairy tales with distinctive watercolor visuals, Child of Light sees Aurora, her firefly Igniculus, and a host of other party members take on the Dark Queen of Lemuria and her minions in tough turn-based combat.
As you triumph over the Dark Queen’s minions in this RPG, you’ll level up and unlock skill points used to upgrade the unique abilities of your party members while crafting and improving your equipment. By utilizing the power of light, Aurora and Igniculus will work together to solve puzzles. On Switch, players can team up with a friend as Igniculus can be controlled by another player using a Joy-Con controller.”
Child of Light launches for the Nintendo Switch on Oct 11.
