Q-Games now owns the IP, and they intend to bring the game back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Tomorrow Children - Launch Trailer | PS4\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QQXxY-LEa3s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Tomorrow Children<\/em> is a free-to-play online multiplayer game released back in 2016 for PlayStation 4. It was developed by Q-Games and published by SIE. The world of <em>The Tomorrow Children<\/em> is engulfed in the bleak Void, as a result of a failed Soviet experiment to share the consciousness of the entire human race. Players take the role of Projection Clones to explore various islands which are manifestations of human thoughts. Collect resources, help develop towns, defend towns from Kaiju monsters (Izverg), and bring life back to the Void.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with its unique alternate future Soviet Union world-building, the game utilized Voxel Cone Tracing rendering technology to bring a unique art style, and had a Soviet Union-themed social experiment-esque game design. It truly was an intriguing, one-of-a-kind experience, but unfortunately ended its service just one year later in November 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">In a historical move by Sony Interactive Entertainment, The Tomorrow Children is home again!
