<p>The first bit of information regarding Ubisoft Montreal&#8217;s new IP, <em>Child of Light</em>, has been revealed at a GDC 2013 panel called Small Projects in AAA Studios: Making of <em>Child of Light.</em></p>
<p>The game, said to be inspired by old-school JRPGs (<em>Final Fantasy VI</em> is the game that&#8217;s being named) is a side-scrolling &#8216;fairytale game&#8217; that will run on <em>Rayman Origins</em>&#8216; UbiArt Framework and is headed up by Patrick Plourde, who was the creative director on <em>Far Cry 3</em>. Plouride stated during the panel that he looked to the works of Hayao Miyazaki and Yoshitaka Amano for inspiration, as well as illustrations from Disney&#8217;s Snow White. The game was designed as a &#8216;counter point&#8217; to <em>Far Cry 3</em>, which was considered to be very &#8216;masculine.&#8217;</p>
<p><em>Child of Light</em> doesn&#8217;t have a release date, announced platforms or trailer, but you can watch the Vine below from IGN&#8217;s Andrew Goldfarb for a brief look at the game.</p>
