Thatgamecompany has released a trailer for The Two Embers: Part One, a movie that it is making based off its game Sky: Children of the Light.

“Told without dialogue, The Two Embers: Part One follows the journey of an orphaned child and a wounded manatee as they navigate a world unraveling under the threat of darkness,” Thegamecompany noted in a press release sent to GamesBeat. “Its heartfelt emotion transcends language and cultural boundaries, resonating with audiences of all ages as it explores universal themes of grief, anger, and the power of kindness, inviting viewers to imagine a more compassionate world.”

Sky: Children of the Light launched on iOS devices back in 2019. It has since released for Android, Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC. Thatgamecompany previously made its name on atmospheric gaming experiences like Flower and Journey.

The film will have preview screenings inside the game itself, spread across four chapters. The first will stream on July 21.
