About six months ago, developer Q-Games announced it had acquired the IP rights to The Tomorrow Children, an unusual PS4 game that emphasised working together with other online players. The title had its servers shut down only about a year after it launched, but the studio is working to re-launch the game in 2022 with changes and improvements to keep it going.
In the spirit of collaboration and cooperation, Q-Games opened the doors to the community to design new islands for players to visit in the game. These islands will emerge at random from the Void, and will contain precious materials for you to find and take back to town. In the above video, the team announces three new islands based on submissions from fans: a hippo, a robot, and an old fashioned television.
As for the game's revival, it's planned to come back on PS4 this year with "enhancements for PS5". The original game was free-to-play, but when The Tomorrow Children returns, it will be a premium game instead, although we don't know the price just yet. Multiplayer will be peer-to-peer rather than relying on servers, and the game will have other new features and content too.

Cool! Never played the original release, but I was very interested when it came out. They were out there talking about plans to revive the game on podcasts a while back and it sounds like they recognize the flaws of the original and know how to fix them. Looking forward to giving this a shot!
Loved the concept and art style but gameplay was awful so hopefully they've made improvements in that aspect.
I just don't know how I feel about it being a premium game now instead of f2p. I feel like the game won't find a big audience like that although it's good it'll be peer-to-peer in that case.
I'll need to see more before jumping into the game again.
Dang, was hoping to try this out as F2P. I don’t see myself paying for this given it’s history
Happy to see the dead return to life but 10 minutes of the beta was more than enough for me.
Damn, a freemium revived as a retail title? Can't believe I've only heard of it now. These occurrences are worth their figurative weight in gold.
Sorry, but this game was awful. They’d have to do a complete tear down and rebuild to even get me to try it as a F2P again. Button mashing on a treadmill to build energy, only to have the energy used by another player for some nonsense. Mining is tedious and traveling the void is annoying. I deleted this after about 20 minutes of trying to make sense of it all.
