Ubisoft Montreal's vice president of creative Lionel Raynaud said that since the company enjoyed making "Child of Light," fans can expect games similar to this in the future, according to Computer and Video Games.
The release of "Child of Light" from Ubisoft was a surprise for the game industry as the studio is well-known for producing big-budget, massive franchises such as the "Assassin's Creed," "Tom Clancy," "Far Cry" and "Prince of Persia" series of games, Game Spot reported.
Unlike these well-established titles, "Child of Light" is considered by both the company and gamers as a small game.
"Child of Light," which was released earlier this year, is a digital-only role-playing game that features painting-style artwork. The game follows the story of a girl who is tasked with defeating the Dark Queen to recover the stolen celestial bodies.
"We are happy with 'Child of Light,'" Raynaud said. "The team did a good job and the game had a great reception. We were proud to deliver something new and unique - a lot of people were surprised that Montreal was delivering this kind of game."
According to the executive, due to the development of the unique game, a core team inside Ubisoft Montreal was formed. Because of this shared experience, members of the team want to work on similar projects again in the future.
"The team learned a lot about RPG mechanics during development and this has resulted in us creating a core team," Raynaud explained. "The people who made this game now want to work together again, whether it's on a small game or not."
For Raynaud, the formation of a cohesive team is good for the company because it ensures the quality of the games that will be produced, according to US Gamer.
"This dynamic has incredible value in the industry and it's what we want to do: we want to create core teams that want to make great games," he said.
"So yes, we will encourage other initiatives like 'Child of Light' and there's a chance that we will have many more games like that in the future," Raynaud added. "I already have many different projects that are in the pitch stage - I even had one in my office this morning, which was super exciting."
