Journey developer ThatGameCompany is doing something a little bit different for the latest season of its gorgeous social adventure Sky: Children of Light, launching a “first-of-its-kind musical experience” in collaboration with Norwegian musician and artist, Aurora.
Aurora – who performed the haunting vocal accompaniment to Idina Menzel in Frozen 2’s showstopper Into the Unknown, and whose singles include Cure for Me and Runaway – has been heard in Sky before, but she’ll play a much greater role in its latest season of content.
Appropriately titled Season of Aurora, this will feature a “story told in music” where players can explore the “song-filled memories of Spirits who carried hope through struggle and loss”.
By venturing to the Valley of Triumph’s Coliseum, players can engage with four Seasonal Spirits, each recounting a story written and performed by Aurora. These quests will weave her best-known songs “into the events that once unfolded in the realms” and completing them will “awaken a spirit of Light from the world’s distant past”.
