Most users who have been keeping up to date with the RPC have probably heard this game mentioned by now, and since I am anticipating its release, I have decided to make a thread for it.
For those of you who are uninformed, Child of Light is an action/adventure turn-based RPG published by Ubisoft and being developed at Ubisoft Montréal by a team of around thirty-five people. The game is currently set to release sometime in 2014 via digital distribution on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox one, Wii U, and PC.
STORY:
The story of Child of Light takes place in the year 1865 when Aurora, the young the daughter of an Australian Duke, falls ill and is whisked away to the magical kingdom of Lemuria, a place where the forgotten fairy-tale creatures of old have come to reside. In this land an evil Queen of darkness comes to steal the Sun, Moon, and Stars, leaving the world in an eternal night. Aurora finds it fit to seek out the evil Queen and retrieve the three sources of light.
GAMEPLAY:
Child of Light is an RPG with two-dimensional exploration and platforming elements. The battle system is turn-based and takes heavy inspiration from the game Grandia 2. Foes are encountered along the maps and can be avoided if desired. After battles experience points are gained, allowing Aurora and her party members to level-up in a "skill-tree" formation. An assist character, a Firefly, named Icniculus can be controlled by a second player via co-operative play or with the right analog stick in a single player campaign. Icniculus can aid during battle, blind foes to prevent encounters, as well as solve special puzzles, and find hidden paths. The game is estimated to take around 15 hours to complete and will have multiple endings depending on the choices the player makes throughout the adventure.

I am looking very foward to this game, and to add it would be a quite interesting prospect to see a PS Vita version of this game, considering other games using the UbiArt Framework have made it to the system. Either way, this looks to be a great game, and it is refreshing to see something like this come out of the industry, especially from a company like Ubisoft.
