Game Awards trailer for Ori and the Will of the Wisps, releasing March 11 2020 (Xbox One, Windows Store, Steam) + Collector's Edition Revealed
- Thread starter Lukar
- Start date
Should become available world-wide. Also, the Collectors Edition IS limited, so it'll probably be sold out very quickly. If anyone lives in Vienna or sees me at Gamescom or E3 at some point, I'd gladly sign the Box for you :) We specifically designed a classy, beautiful black box and asked Microsoft to only use high quality materials, which is why there's a 20$ gap between the normal edition and this one, but I think collectors will deem it worthy, I certainly would :) Gareth's Piano Collection Soundtrack CD is also exclusive in that box and the hard-cover ArtBook that's in it also looks super nice. We worked together with Future Press on it for the past few months, it contains tons of artwork that was created by Moon over the past 4 years... I think the value for the box will quickly go up instead of down due to the limited availability.
It certainly looks fantastic! It'll be sharp alongside the previous Ori steelbook.
Soundtrack alone is worth the $20 right there.

I am fully digital on Xbox, but I will make an exception for this beauty. Thanks for highlighting it.Reposting it for anyone who missed the post:
*scratch that, link below.
For sure, going to have to keep my eye on store listings for when it goes up here.
Any plans on adjusting Steam regional pricing? Some regions like Switzerland, Argentina and Mexico just to name a few have pretty bad pricing.
CE is up at Game, says they are the exclusive distributor for it in the UK:
Still refreshing here in spain waiting for that Collector's Edition being available for pre-order.
Keep in mind with the amount of games coming out next year many people are on a tight budget and sometimes a choice have to made regarding a game purchase, i will be playing day 1 but i do believe February was a better release window for the game.
Hope it doesn't actually require Windows 10 like the Steam page says, I know some other games that list 10 as a requirement still work on 7/8. I'm still on Windows 8.1 and haven't had a reason to update to 10, would rather not do it yet if I don't have to.
Wow unbelievable. And they seemed to have improved the first games combat short coming with a more tangible weapon.
Time to replay Blind Forrest

Really enjoyed Blind Forest on the Switch so Will of the Wisps was one of the games that convinced me to buy an Xbox with Game Pass. Gameplay looks smooth as fuck, the environments and combat look a step up. Very much looking forward to this.
That's not buying a game, merely a rent, i have gamepass but I'll be buying this on steam.
sonofabitch I don't have an XBox but that collector's edition is so sexy.
I will be getting this day 1. I'm so insanely excited. thomasmahler I'm so proud of you and your studio and what it can accomplish. This is my most anticipated game of 2020 and it's not even close.

Well, Windows 10 is what we're all using, but I don't see why Will of the Wisps wouldn't run even on Windows 7.
Thanks so much :) Yeah, it's been a long road, but we're pretty happy with where we are right now and there's obviously more stuff being worked on in the background that's already shaping up super nicely. When Blind Forest shipped, we were still a crafty, smaller indie dev, but by now we're becoming more and more of a powerhouse and we'll soft-announce something soon that should clarify that we're not messing around and are going to compete at the highest level. It's gonna be fun :D
Thanks, I may end up just switching to 10 by that point but it's good to know it'll probably still work if I don't.
Simply cannot WAIT for this game. My most anticipated release outside of FFVIIR, but when did it move to March?
I'm working my way through the Blind Forest on Switch, and I love this game. It's brutally difficult though
I've been waiting so long I didn't even register the extra month delay, it's cool though, it'll all be worth it.
Even the delays. having heard how much the original Ori was expanded upon in its final months, leave me excited. Really curious to see what the scope of this game settled on.
If it's as great as the first it's worth the wait. Thanks Thomas. Any chance there will be a digital collectors version?
I am still dumbfounded at just how goddamn beautiful this game is. Ori and the Blind Forest was bloody marvelous and I can't wait for this...
Man I adore Ori but it really got moved into the "I guess i'll play it in a few months" time zone.
FF7 right into Doom right into RE3 right into Cyberpunk right into TLOUP2. Sorry Ori...

Fuck the week after FF 7. That CE is pretty sexy, I told myself I wouldn't buy anymore Xbox games because of Gamepass but I may have to do it for this.
Edit: Just saw the CE was only $50. Yeah, that's a purchase.

I'm still in amazement how much better the game looks than the original. The sense of scale in some of those earlier trailers is top notch.

Oh how I wish the Collectors Edition was also for PC, I would buy instantly. I don't suppose a physical edition for PC was announced?
It looks so good Thomas! Will the game support 120hz on PC?
Btw, with combat, it's not just about looks. This time around we hired Formosa to do all the sound effects for Ori. They worked on stuff like Mad Max, John Wick, Frozen, etc. and in games they were responsible for the SFX in God of War, Halo and the likes. It's super important that the sound effects overall are super satisfying, that contributes a lot to the whole experience of making combat and platforming feel super satisfying :)
Thank you :) I hope people will notice the new lighting engine and Animation is also a big step up from what we were able to accomplish with Ori and the Blind Forest. We since hired some of the best keyframe animators in the industry (I honestly hate the trend that everything out there in games is Motion Capture, that always just results in wooden animations in my opinion... so our goal is always to really hone Keyframe Animation and let our Animators be the artists they are), we upped the animations to 60fps and added a ton more animations for every move, so everything feels a lot more fluid now. I love the storm shot in the trailer where Ori gets separated from Ku, the animation there is top notch :)
Of course. Internally we're also pitching around the idea of maybe making a version of Will of the Wisps that supports 120hz on the Xbox Series X, but that'll be up to Microsoft to decide, so feel free to tweet Phil about that :D I think it'd be neat if Ori would be one of the first games to ring in the new era of console games supporting a higher refresh rate than 60hz. A lot of TVs out there already support 120hz and by the time the XSX launches, that'll be even more commonplace, so people should have content that makes use of that new tech :)
Yes noticed that also. For example the second gif with the hammer has in the vid a nice sound to it.
