Development
In May 2013, it was announced that Sawaki Takeyasu, creator, director and lead artist of El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron, had purchased the rights to the El Shaddai IP from UTV Ignition Games with the intention of expanding it under his newly-formed development studio Crim.[1] In 2017 at a Tokyo Sandbox presentation, Takeyasu teased a "major announcement" relating to the IP to be made within the next two weeks,[2] which was officially revealed ten days later in Famitsu as The Lost Child, a role-playing game for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita set in the El Shaddai universe.[3]
It was announced in August 2017 that Sony Interactive Entertainment would be publishing and providing localisation of the game in Chinese territories.[4] In September 2017, it was announced by NIS America that the game would be receiving a Western release,[5] with a Nintendo Switch port also being announced for the West in February 2018.[6]
