Dreams is still a thing — and it’s coming in 2018

I had forgotten all about Dreams, the build-your-own game world coming from Media Molecule. But it’s coming in 2018, according to a trailer shown at The Game Awards.

The seemingly endless trailer shows off the creations that developers have already created using the tools that Media Molecule is putting into the game. You’ll be able to play the Dreams that developers have created inside the game world, but you’ll also be able to use the tools to create your own games based on your own dreams.

It seems like it has taken forever to make this game, but if you look at the trailer, you’ll see it has endless variety.
