Review Child of Light (Wii U eShop)
The brush is as mighty as the sword
Listen, dear readers, and we shall recall our journeys with Child of Light. The darling of Ubisoft Montreal, it has become known as a beautiful sight. Screenshots and videos released to the world have proven its visuals most stunning. Yet when the tale is told and story unfurled, will all its design be as...

News Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night Is Getting A Child Of Light Crossover, For Some Reason
Sure, that's cool
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has had some intriguing updates and crossovers to freshen up the experience and keep the game on our radar.

News Looks Like Ubisoft's Child Of Light Isn't Getting A Sequel After All
"I’m not holding my breath"
One of Ubisoft's more left-field projects - and one of its best, we'd argue - is Child of Light. The game originally launched on Wii U back in 2014 and has since seen a rerelease on Switch, both times enchanting our minds enough to have us hoping for another helping with a lovely sequel or two. At one stage, a sequel...

News Ubisoft Releases "Child of Light: Reginald the Great" Art eBook for Free
Another charming piece of lore
There are some that take enjoyment from being rather anti-Ubisoft, but the publishing and development giant undoubtedly produces some exceptional work. Child of Light, released last year on the Wii U eShop and a host of platforms, was one such example. Utilising the gorgeous UbiArt engine it brought us a charming new...
News Ubisoft Announcement Suggests More Child Of Light 'Universe' Games Are On the Way
Child star
Child of Light was an intriguing release from Ubisoft, utilising the UbiArt engine that originated with Rayman Origins and delivering a detailed, and rather popular, download gaming experience. It appeared to be a success, with some physical releases also making it to market, and placed well on the Wii U eShop's own charts. We're rather...
News Child of Light's Creative Director Paints a Picture of its Artistic Process
The game also made green, ended up in the black
Released back in spring Ubisoft Montreal's Child of Light possessed a uniquely gorgeous visual style that few, if any, have matched. In a talk at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) earlier this year, Creative Director Patrick Plourde discussed the journey from concept art to bringing the 2D RPG to...

Video Musician Lindsey Stirling Dresses Up As Aurora From Child Of Light, Because Why Not?
Popular artist channels Ubisoft's RPG hit for unique video performance
We love Lindsey Stirling here at Nintendo Life — not only does she play a mean fiddle (OK, violin), but she's absolutely potty about video games and never misses an opportunity to cover the soundtrack of a famous title or dress up as a popular character. Her latest video —...

Looks great! Can't wait for this one!
I hope this has a demo at release, it looks very different from what I am used to, but intriguing nonetheless.
Looking forward to trying this. Does anyone know if this game will have a box release, or is it eShop only?
Nevermind, looks like it's eShop only. Less than two weeks to go!
This looks awesome , I glad it's only 14.99 since it's by UBisoft . I thought it would cost more.
Just started my LP for this game! Looks awesome.
I wanted to get it on Wii U, but got the Deluxe Edition for PS3 instead.
While we wait for Metroid (and Ghost Song -which seems amazing), this is the better option we have nowadays. I love it.
It looks great, I'm a sucker for games with this kind of art work.
