While never officially announced, a sequel to Ubisoft's Child of Light has been hinted at a couple of times. However, according to an interview with the original game's director, if it is in development, he isn't working on it.
Speaking with Videogame Chronicle, director Patrick Plourde said that the game isn't in development at Ubisoft to his knowledge. “I don’t know if there’s a Child of Light 2 that is in production, Ubisoft is big, but I’m not working on it...Right now, I don’t think there’s a Child of Light 2 being produced… I’m not holding my breath."
He states that the reason for that could be because it wouldn't be produced as a game as a service. "I don’t think it’s the type of game that Ubisoft wants to make…And the other things, in terms of portfolio, it’s still supported – we ported it on Switch and we’re still selling a bunch of copies, but it’s just that right now it’s all about games as a service. We can make money out of it, but you can make more money elsewhere. That’s the problem of not being independent while making this.”

It was a fairly good game,
So that is a shame,
Can’t say i’ll miss the tiresome rhyming,
It was a bit like getting a bamboo shoot and driving,
It deep inside my nail bed,
So after all has been said,
The series is probably better off dead.
P.S Assassins Creed sucks giant gorilla balls.
It's one of the games I enjoyed the most these past 5 years. I didn't expect a sequel, but certain aspects of the state of gaming are pretty sad.
Thankfully, there are plenty of other games to play, but art isn't appreciated enough, imo, for such games to be profitable and to b made any more. Indie games and their 5 pixels don't do it for me.
Indirect way of saying "pound sand GaaS"
@kyleforrester87 that's not all right, to rhyme like that on Friday night, especially on this website, when you can be painting the town bright. But alas my friend, let's not pretend, you are Assasins Creed to the end, and for honour you defend. You love the division and steep, a games as a service sheep, season passes make me weep, unless it on the ps store for cheap. Nighty night, that's not all right, to rhyme this way on Friday night.
I haven't heard a better soundtrack since ...
I’ve been playing the PS3 version lately, after playing the PS4 version 5 years ago. It’s still fun. In 5 years, I’ll play the Vita version (maybe).
I enjoyed it. I certainly liked the visual style. But not everything needs a sequel. What made it charming could be totally lost in a second iteration. Not that I'd have bought it anyway. I gave up buying Ubisoft games once they started spouting the 'games as a service' nonsense. Especially since they have no grasp of the concept. Yearly releases... the irony.

Child is working on the directory of the national level for the spaces for the future offers. The range of the directory and evolutionwriters review is sorted for the people. The same item is done for the induction of the things for the humans. It is assured for the depiction of the things for the humans. The field is accumulated for the values for the children of the deprived regions of the world.
