Ubisoft makes good on Child of Light promise with free eBook

Child of Light fans can check out a gorgeous new illustrated book set in the world of Lumeria.

Earlier this month, creator Patrick Plourde confirmed that there were more Child of Light projects on the way.

As we expected from the cagey wording, at least the first of these projects isn't a game: it's an illustrated book called Child of Light: Reginald the Great.

You can download the book as a PDF entirely for free. Ubisoft said it "follows the enchanting tale of Robert’s son, Reginald".

Reginald sets out on an adventure to find his purpose in life, and along the way encounters Roberta in a dark, forbidding dungeon. Follow along to find out what awaits Reginald and Roberta in this short yet captivating story that further explores the fairytale world of Child of Light.

In a press release, Plourde said Ubisoft always wanted "to explore Lemuria from different perspectives and protagonists" and that the illustrated books - more than one, then? - are set a couple of years after the event of the game.

"Since the game was released, we received hundreds of illustrations and cosplay pictures from our amazing community," he added.

"We also received very touching letters on how the game helped some of our fans in their lives, too. For all this, we want to say thank you. This illustrated book is our gift to them."
