SAN DIEGO – Cartoon Network offered fans at Comic-Con International: San Diego exclusive Save The Light and Steven Universe Soundtrack: Volume 1 announcements during their Steven Universe panel Friday.
The first official gameplay trailer for Save the Light, the upcoming console RPG from the imaginative world of Cartoon Network’s hit series Steven Universe, introduces Squaridot, a new game-exclusive gem, to the beloved franchise. Squaridot guards the Great North as an ally of the yet-to-be-revealed game’s main villain. The new footage also introduces Peridot as one of the playable characters and showcases some of the fusion characters players can unleash in turn-based battles, such as Stevonnie (Steven and his friend Connie), Opal (Amethyst and Pearl) and Sardonyx (Garnet and Pearl).
Cartoon Network also invited fans to join Estelle for a one-of-a-kind sing-along experience in San Diego’s Horton Plaza on Sunday, July 23 to celebrate love, kindness, inclusion and the newly announced Steven Universe Soundtrack: Volume 1 vinyl release with a special performance of “Stronger Than You.” Fans, who will be part of the official single music video, are encouraged to come in cosplay or grab a free specially made t-shirt on arrival. The complete soundtrack vinyl from iam8bit is now available for preorder and offers fans a collectible version of the chart-topping digital album with 4-LP 10” discs representing the four primary crystal gems and a special inside gatefold.
More information on the “Stronger Then You” pop performance is available on Cartoon Network’s Facebook page at facebook.com/cartoonnetwork. Information on the Steven Universe Soundtrack: Volume 1 vinyl preorder and release is available at iam8bit.com

Save the Light is expected to launch this fall on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and Xbox One.
