Thatgamecompany has developed beautiful and unique games including Flow, Flower and Journey.

The game has taken simplified online communications to the next level, and as part of the one-year anniversary week, the studio is releasing a new season, “Season of Sanctuary,” on July 13th.
Described as the “summer edition” of Sky, players will get to relax on vacation-styled islands and collect items in the Daylight Prairie Realm. This is perfect for the year 2020.
In the Sanctuary Islands, players will meet the season’s characters for a ten-week-long excursion. Six ancestor spirits have come to visit from Prairie, and to see all the magic, you’ll need to bring them together.

Six new expressions will be available including a new “Stance and “Call,” six new hairstyles, four new capes, two new masks, one new accessory, two new pants, a new instrument, two new music sheets, and a new seasonal pendant.
