Child of Light Sequel in the Works? Voice Actor Confirms Expansion Plans

Kirsty Rider, voice actor for Lünye in Light and Shadow: Expedition 33, confirmed during a GamesRadar+ interview at the BAFTA Game Awards on May 5, 2026, that developer Sandfall Interactive is working on expansion content tied to the Light and Shadow universe.

The timing tracks. After Light and Shadow: Expedition 33 became a breakout success, players have been speculating about Sandfall's next move—now there's confirmation something is in development. Rider made clear she'd jump at the chance to reprise Lünye: "Of course, I'd always love to play Lünye again because I really love her. I don't know how that would work, but if that opportunity came up, I'd be very happy." The phrasing hints at sequel potential, though she acknowledged the decision isn't hers to make.

Rider confirmed she knows about Sandfall's expansion plans but hasn't been involved in the specifics. Her exact words: "What I can say is that there are discussions about more content, but I'm not part of them. So I don't actually have anything to spoil." The careful wording suggests the project has moved beyond early concept stages—voice actors don't typically hear about plans unless development is underway.

From a business standpoint, a sequel or DLC is the logical next step. Light and Shadow: Expedition 33 delivered both commercial success and critical acclaim—Sandfall would be leaving money on the table by not capitalizing on that momentum. The game's multiple endings complicate sequel planning, since Lünye's fate varies across playthroughs. Sandfall faces a narrative design challenge: canonize one ending, or use parallel timelines to sidestep continuity issues? Gamesrader notes that given the game's reception, expansion content is practically inevitable. While Sandfall hasn't officially announced any projects, Rider's comments give fans something concrete to anticipate.
