Thatgamecompany announced today (the 6th) at the Future Games Show Summer Showcase the first reveal of 'Dear Van Gogh,' a new in-game content update for its live-service healing game, 'Sky: Children of the Light.'
The 90-second trailer begins by showing the Children of the Light admiring Van Gogh's masterpiece, 'Bedroom in Arles.' The camera then pulls into the frame, transporting the viewer into a unique space where Van Gogh's signature thick, textured brushstrokes are reimagined in three-dimensional graphics.
The video features landscapes that capture the artist's life, solitude, and inspiration, all rendered in the dreamy, ethereal style unique to 'Sky.' Highlights include a sunflower field—a symbol of Van Gogh—a secret safe hidden within, a flurry of flying letters, and a flock of crows soaring over a golden wheat field reminiscent of 'Wheatfield with Crows.'
The latter part of the video shows the main Character walking alongside Van Gogh under a beautiful night sky inspired by his masterpiece 'The Starry Night.' This hints at a special emotional experience where Players will be able to directly explore and connect with his inner world within the game.
The new 'Dear Van Gogh' content for 'Sky: Children of the Light' is scheduled for official release on July 17.
