Child of Light release date announced

Ubisoft’s eye catching RPG, Child of Light, has been finally dated and will hit the Wii U eShop on the 30th of April.

For those who aren’t aware, Child of Light is developed by Ubisoft Montreal using the UbiArt Framework engine, which powered and brought to life the worlds previously found in Rayman Legends. Players play as Aurora, a girl living in Austria during 1895 who falls into a deep sleep due to some kind of ailment – but open waking up Aurora finds herself in a mythical world where an evil queen has stolen the sun, the moon and the stars.

RPG fans will be at home with Child of Light, as it boasts classic turn based combat, a deep and varied crafting system, villages and towns to explore, heaps of skills to unlock and even two player co-operative modes.

We don’t have a specific date or price for an Australian release just yet – but it will be launching for $14.99 in America. Details on an Australian price have yet to be announce, but we’ll let you know as soon as we do.
