The Tomorrow Children: Phoenix Edition is going to be released on September 6th in Europe while the date is September 7th for North America and Japan, Q-Games has confirmed today. That is six years to the day since the launch of the original The Tomorrow Children. This revival will be heading to PS4 and PS5. To mark the news a brand new trailer has been released.
The Tomorrow Children: Phoenix Edition will feature over 40 islands with Monoliths being key to each one. Every one of these monoliths will harbour secrets and treasures for players to discover. Some of these monoliths can be activated along while others will require a number of players to activate it together. Players will also now have a new tool to traverse these islands with a grappling hook to reach the highest heights.
The original The Tomorrow Children was an online only affair. Q-Games has confirmed that The Tomorrow Children: Phoenix Edition will have a single player offline mode with AI comrades to help you with the tasks in the Void. These AI characters will be able to do the same tasks players can do, and can even be used online as well. Party codes are being introduced too so players can group together much easier in their towns with friends. The key features of the game include:
