Eternity’s Child coming to XBLA this year

Eternity’s Child was one of the first few games that were created using the XNA toolset. The game’s beautiful 2D graphics and fun gameplay had fans wondering if it would ever make it to the Xbox Live Arcade, but its status as an upcoming XBLA game was denied by XBLA head Ross Erickson in October. While this caused fans to weep a bit, there’s still some light at the end of the tunnel.

Godfree from Gamertag Radio recently asked Luc Bernard, the brains behind Eternity’s Child, about the game’s current status. Bernard replied that he had already signed an NDA and is currently in the process of getting everything official. Judging by the “Coming this year for the Xbox Live Arcade” announcement that we saw today on the game’s official website, we guess everything has finally become official.

There you have it, guys, another new title to look forward to this year. If you don’t have the foggiest idea about Eternity’s Child, read on for a little background info.

• 1 player game only
• all characters animated by hand like old 2d Disney movies
• all the game is 2D
• orchestral soundtrack
• Eternity’s Child is just a tentative title
• the story is going to be a fairy tale for adults
• the gameplay is not going to be a revolution but a normal 2D platformer, what I am mainly working on is a game that anyone can pick up and play and escape to another world and have fun as well as well as touching them emotionally.

If you want to try the game for yourself, there’s a mobile version available for free at eternityschild.com. Also, give the screenshots below a quick peek.
