  • The Two Embers: Part One is a wordless animated feature
  • You can watch it in-game in a newly built virtual theatre
  • Numerous content will be available alongside the movie

Thatgamecompany is taking narrative immersion to new heights with the debut of The Two Embers: Part One, a wordless animated feature now screening inside Sky: Children of the Light. This first chapter of a two-part origin story invites you to experience the world of Sky through a stunning, dialogue-free tale of connection, loss, and quiet resilience.

The focus of The Two Embers is two children, strangers across time, bound by fate. As their stories play out in parallel, you're drawn into a crumbling sky kingdom at the edge of despair. The first part of this narrative follows an orphaned child and an injured manatee on a soul-searching journey through a land consumed by darkness. 

But this isn’t a traditional adaptation. With each new chapter of The Two Embers, new in-game content rolls out alongside it. Exploration, gameplay, and storytelling are fully intertwined, designed to pull you deeper into the emotional weight of the film’s events.
