Uniting two tranquil worlds, Sky: Children of the Light and the iconic Moomin brand are teaming up for a special collab with Season of Moomin, available now through Dec. 29.
Built on Sky and Moomin’s shared values of creativity, connection and celebrating our differences, this partnership invites gamers – whether newcomers or veterans – to experience an emotional story exploring trauma, healing and self-acceptance.
The adorable Moomins are the central characters in a series of novels, short stories, picture books and a comic strip by Finnish writer and illustrator Tove Jansson. Starring an adorable, white, roundish troll family, the Moomins live together in the enchanting Moominvalley. The partnership with Sky was negotiated by U.S. licensing agent, King Features Syndicate, a unit of Hearst and home to some of the world’s most beloved entertainment characters on behalf of brand owner Moomin Characters.
In this collab, the Moomins are featured in Sky: Children of the Light, an enchanting online kingdom where players of all ages and skill levels around the globe connect with each other through playful quests and encounters with friendly Spirits.
Combining Sky’s dreamlike landscapes with Moomin’s whimsical characters, the Season of Moomin tells the touching story of “The Invisible Child,” Ninny. A beloved character from The Moomins, players accompany Ninny as she overcomes her fears and gains self-confidence. This Season introduces a new visual style unlike anything seen before in Sky. Throughout the story, Sky’s black-and-white world gradually blooms into popping color to symbolize Ninny’s inspiring transformation.
This collab offers a peaceful, uplifting experience through a story that highlights the power of kindness and compassion in everyday moments. Sky’s Season of Moomin includes double the amount of Fetch Quests found in a typical season, as well as must-have Moomin items such as a Moomin plushie, ears and tail, and Ninny outfit.
“As we continue to bring fans both new and old more ways to celebrate Moomin, we are excited to work with partners like Sky that align so perfectly with Moomin brand values while offering a unique experience to interact with the beloved Moomin characters in a fun, creative setting,” said Christina Nix-Lynch, Senior Director of Licensing, King Features Syndicate.
More details on the Season of Moomin can be found in thatgamecompany’s official blog and in the charming new trailer. Sky: Children of the Light is available to play on PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4/5 and mobile devices.
