It has been a while since we’ve received new information about ThatGameCompany’s Sky. If you’ve seen or played Journey by the same developer, then this game will look quite familiar to you. A new 30 minute trailer has been released for the game, and we now get to see how the game differs from Journey. 

In the trailer, we see the character first traverse around  the environment by foot until finally gaining the ability to fly. Towards the end of the video we get to see the character fly through large clouds, and it looks gorgeous. The distinctive art style and soothing music complement each other perfectly. The difference between this game and Journey is that it will feature a more active multiplayer experience as players will have to cooperate with each other so as to achieve certain goals.

Sky will first be releasing for Apple devices including the Apple iPad, Apple iPhone and Apple TV. We’ll have to wait and see if the game will also make its way onto other platforms eventually. You can check out the new trailer below.

Journey developer thatgamecompany’s new game will be called Sky– and at least at launch, it will be exclusive to iOS platforms. The game got a grand reveal during Apple’s iPhone keynote event back in September, but we haven’t seen or heard much of it since. Thankfully, today, via  IGN First, we got to see six minutes of gameplay footage for the title.

The new game is supposed to be a ‘global social adventure’, and seems to retain the same penchant for artistic graphics, and unusual multiplayer, that made Journey so beloved among players back in 2012. The game looks well optimized for mobile devices, and it looks like it will be centered aroun the kind of control finesse touch screens can provide (not much)- so it won’t have the control issues games made with a console development mindset often suffer from.

Sky is due out on iOS and Apple TV. Right now, we don’t have a release date.

Thatgamecompany’s newest game has been revealed and it’s called Sky. Looking to carry on the legacy of the studio’s critically-acclaimed Journey, Sky seems to involve players venturing out into a world of clouds together. The goal, like Journey, appears to be fairly mysterious but we can dig it. Check out the reveal trailer below.

Sky has been in development for several years and follows on Journey’s formula of playing together with your loved ones. That’s one of the reasons that it’s coming to mobiles. Thatgamecompany describes it as a game “specially created to be played, and shared, among loved ones and family”.

It’s perhaps worth noting that Sky will be coming to iPhone, iPad and Apple TV first this Winter. Don’t worry – it’s not exclusive to just those platforms. However, when it hits Android, is there a chance that it could come to consoles and handhelds in the future? Here’s hoping because Sky looks absolutely enticing.
