The folks at Ubisoft Montreal asked Final Fantasy artist Yoshitaka Amano to draw them some pretty pictures for their upcoming RPG, Child of Light. Watch him in action here.
Here's 10 minutes with Child of Light on PS4. Sony's PlayStation Access sits down with creative director Patrick Plourde to talk about Ubisoft's upcoming JRPG-influenced role-playing game. It's looking very pretty, as usual.

While Ubisoft's charming platform role-playing game Child of Light is skipping Nintendo's last-gen console, the spirit of the Wii lives on inside it's utterly charming co-op gameplay.

Check out the latest video for Child of Light, Ubisoft's take on a JRPG. The combat system is inspired by Grandia II, and with it you can do some really neat things, like work together with a partner to delay enemies' attacks and beat tough baddies at level 1. (I played the game yesterday on PS4—it feels great!)
