Child of Light was one of last year’s greatest games. Not only that it showed the support that some of the big publishers were willing to give to smaller indie developers. In honor of the one-year anniversary of Child of Light, Ubisoft has created an illustrated art book, Child of Light: Reginald the Great, set in the mythical world of Lemuria. Reginald the Great is available to download now as a free PDF on the Child of Light website: http://childoflightgame.com/ebook.
Child of Light: Reginald the Great follows the enchanting tale of Robert’s son, Reginald. Reginald sets out on an adventure to find his life purpose, and along the way encounters Roberta in a dark, forbidding dungeon. Follow along to find out what awaits Reginald and Roberta in this short yet captivating story that further explores the fairytale world of Child of Light.
“From the start, we wanted to explore Lemuria from different perspectives and protagonists. The illustrated books are set a couple of years after the event of the game and follows the adventures of Reginald, the son of Robert and Margaret,” said Patrick Plourde, creative director at Ubisoft. “Since the game was released, we received hundreds of illustrations and cosplay pictures from our amazing community. We also received very touching letters on how the game helped some of our fans in their life. For all this, we want to say thank you. This illustrated book is our gift to you.”
In addition to Reginald the Great, the Child of Light development team has already created additional books in the series, and is looking to the community to join in on the creation.
“This project is an invitation to join us in the creation of this part of Lemuria. We illustrated the first book and to channel the talent of the community, we invite you, our fans, to bring the others to life,” said Plourde. “We look forward to the incredible creations you can bring to this universe.”
More information on how to submit artwork for the next installment of the Child of Light art book series will be unveiled at a later date via the Child of Light Facebook and Twitter channels.
