I didn’t expect my favorite cozy MMO to do a crossover with a Finnish children’s series

This weekend, Thatgamecompany kicked off celebrations for the fifth anniversary of its Journey-like flying and collecting MMO Sky: Children of the Light with a giant in-game screen à la a Fortnite concert event. CEO Jenova Chen presented players with a list of upcoming features and improvements to the game—I’m unironically psyched for a favorite emotes quick list—but the big “one more thing” announcement at the end of the keynote was the game’s autumn seasonal collaboration: Moomin.

I’ll admit I still know less than three things about Moomin even after playing a bit of Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley earlier this year, but I’m in the minority there. Originally created by Finnish artist Tove Jansson, the little hippo-shaped creatures and friends are rather beloved worldwide.
