We continue to prepare for your return. Be ready for dispatch on September 6 in North America and Europe, September 7 in Japan.

Hey everyone,

You can now also find The Tomorrow Children: Phoenix Edition’s Game Hub on the PlayStation Store! Please check it out and make sure to add the game to your wishlist on console or through the web store here.

What an incredible few weeks! The response to our latest announcement has been overwhelming and we can’t wait for you to join us back in the Void when The Tomorrow Children: Phoenix Edition launches on PS4 with enhancements for PS5 this September. Thank you for your continued support, we couldn’t do this without you!

This is a bumper version of Postcards from the Void and we’re going to share a round up of the latest features and also share our latest expedition into the Void.

Last week we also received our first previews from a series of journalists and we’re really excited to share their impressions with you below. It was a joy to see people from outside Q-Games returning to the Void after so long and we had a great time playing together! And talking of playing together, we’re heading to BitSummit in Kyoto from 6 - 7th August to showcase The Tomorrow Children: Phoenix Edition. If you’re planning to attend, make sure to stop by and say hello.
