Thatgamecompany is a video game developer that is known for delivering some truly unique gaming experiences, with the likes of Flower and Journey being truly unlike anything else on the market. Despite the fact that today’s Apple Event is mainly focused on all things Apple, the video game developer actually made an appearance during the event to announce their new game called Sky.
While only a little information was given on the game during the event, we did get a nice loot at the gameplay and the game’s striking visual style. We were told that the game is one that is invited to be played with others, as you soar through the skies on an gorgeous-looking adventure. It’s a multiplayer social game where up to 8 players around the world can come together to explore the game’s world, with players controlling the Children of Light. It’s definitely looking promising, and you can check out the reveal teaser for yourself below.
As of this writing, the game was only confirmed for a release on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV, though it’s possible that the game will be coming to other platforms, as well. An official release date for the game was not provided, but it is expected to launch by the end of this year.
Thatgamecompany’s last game was Journey, which is considered to be a masterpiece by many. The following is an overview of the game:
“Enter the world of Journey, the third game from acclaimed developers thatgamecompany and presented by SCEA Santa Monica Studio.Journey is an interactive parable, an anonymous online adventure to experience a person’s life passage and their intersections with other’s.
