We’ve finally heard the news about the resurgence of The Tomorrow Children! And that’s good news! 2022 premiere news!
Here’s a quick rundown The children of tomorrow if you forgot. The game was announced in 2014, hosted a closed beta in early 2016, hosted an open public beta in mid-2014, and then launched as an early access title exclusively to PlayStation 4 in 2016. Then a just over a year later, he got canned.
In November 2021, we learned that Q-Games, the original developers of The Tomorrow Children, had secured the intellectual property rights to the Sony Interactive Entertainment title.
We’re moving fast to date, and Q-Games has announced that The Tomorrow Children: Phoenix Edition will return to PlayStation 4 with improvements for PlayStation 5 this year.

There’s also a brand new trailer to accompany the game’s announcement, which you can check out below.
The official announcement on the Q-Games website says the game’s launch in 2022 will include “additional features, new islands to explore and peer-to-peer multiplayer.” While the team appears to be interested in staying true to The Tomorrow Children ‘s original concepts and ideas, Q-Games also notes that they have taken the community’s responses into account, stating:
Given the feedback from the community, Q-Games spent a lot of time reverting the game to its intended design to deliver a premium experience. This decision ensured that The Tomorrow Children would remain playable indefinitely, and as part of the design changes, the game no longer relies on a central server and all microtransactions have been removed.
Game director and CEO of Q-Games Dylan Cuthbert is also quoted on the website:
“Today marks an incredibly special day for our team here in Kyoto, as we reveal all the details of the revival of our game. The Tomorrow Children for our fans, who never gave up the game even after it was disconnected.
We’ve focused on improvements to help newcomers to the game get started, made changes based on veteran player feedback, and added a number of new islands, items, and gameplay modes. This wealth of changes allowed us to rebalance the game in new and exciting ways and I look forward to visiting player cities when we release it later this year!
The Tomorrow Children: Phoenix Edition does not have a fixed release date, but we do know that it will be released this year and will apparently arrive to stay. As someone who has never been able to play the game, I am very excited to get my hands on my little community helper.
