Child of Light creative director shares prequel ideas, but says new game is unlikely to happen
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Last August, Child of Light creative director Patrick Plourde posted a photo that many interpreted as a sequel tease. That was actually a “four or five page” document that details a prequel, which he now regrets sharing.
Plourde shared those ideas for a prequel while speaking with VGC. It would be about childhood friends growing apart as they become adults. The game would also take some inspiration from the ballet Swan Lake while examining the nature of both love and friendship and how people change as they grow up. Visuals would remain similar to the original title, but the gameplay could be “a bit more operatic” and “slightly more adult”.
