Sky: Children of the Light

Gliding between serene skies and competitive instincts, Sky: Children of the Light blends fantasy adventure and social MMO design into a precision-focused journey. Developed by thatgamecompany and published with NetEase support, it launched on April 10, 2024. Built around cooperative exploration and skill expression, its flight system rewards crisp route planning, momentum control, and candle economy mastery. Seasonal realms introduce coordinated challenges, four-player trials, and rhythm-perfect wing routes that encourage speedrunning culture without combat grind. Progression favors mastery over stats, with cosmetics, call signs, and social recognition signaling elite status. Cross-realm gatherings, shard storms, and community concerts create appointment play that streamers can showcase. While not a traditional PvP arena, its competitive ceiling emerges in route optimizations, team choreography, and collectible efficiency, often cited among the best MMORPG games to play with friends for elegantly designed co-op.
