Sky: Children of the Light, developed by thatgamecompany, has entered its first restaurant collaboration, and the studio has launched a new publishing label, thatgamepublisher, funded in part by the game's success in China.
Sky: Children of the Light, the social adventure game from thatgamecompany, has moved into new commercial and creative territory in late 2026. Its first restaurant collaboration, a themed cafe at the Ueno Marui Sweets Paradise store, was covered by Denfaminicogamer, with the author tasting three menu items including Manatee's Nap Omelette Rice and praising both the visuals and the taste. The same report also noted a limited-time Dear Van Gogh pop-up in Shibuya that had already ended.
That same week, thatgamecompany announced a new publishing label, thatgamepublisher, on August 25. The label targets emotionally resonant games and will offer funding plus production planning, platform and launch strategy, marketing, community building, and long-term IP development. Co-founder Jenova Chen told GamesIndustry.biz that the success of Sky, particularly in China, generated surplus funds that enabled the division. Contracts for several titles were already signed, and the label plans to invest in AA-scale projects, a step beyond typical indie publisher investments.
