Wonder if they will partner with Microsoft again or opt to self-publish. A 2D Zelda-like would be great. We don't get enough of those kinds of games.

Moon Studio's (Ori) next title is an Action RPG per job listing
- Thread starter bsigg
- Start date
I don't think MS tried to buy a studio with 80 devs working remotely.
Why not?
We had quite a few acquisition offers in the past, but since we're all insanely confident that our unannounced title will become a pretty big thing, it wouldn't have made any sense to even think about that. And I just like the studio being independent. We can't allow ourselves to become complacent. Gotta stay hungry and be able to maneuver fast :)
Because i thought it was kinda hard to manage a studio with nearly 100 devs working from across the globe.
Yeah. I doubt their next title is an exclusive. At best I expect MS to have it launch on Xbox and PC as a timed exclusive, eventually making its way to other platforms.
Reposting from the other thread but whatever the genre I'll be there; pretty curious to see what Moon will do outside of Ori.
Certainly sounds ambitious from the general comments Thomas was saying earlier about it.

I'd say *something* 3D going off that XboxEra podcast. They certainly seem interested in tackling that perspective.

Has Warsoup been completely cancelled? I don't know why I remember things from 9 years ago lol

Neat, I remember thomasmahler showing people a prototype for a top-down ARPG/Souls-y game on Gaf some years ago.
I will be waiting patiently for the next game......as I wait impatiently for Ori :P
Keep up the great work Moon :D

Correct. That was the main reason he was hired :) Alex is an unbelievably gifted writer, so I just basically approached him and told him we'll give him the best job he'll ever have and he quit Square after 20+ years of working for them for us.
Damn, Ori was such a big success your budget is this big now ;)
Hey, WARSOUP was a pretty cool thing back then. We put that together at a time where every FPS out there was pretty much just Modern Warfare, so I was glad to see that some other FPS games 'copied' some of the stuff we showed there since. Movement in games should always be fun! Still haven't seen anyone actually tackling the RTSFPS concept we had though (I mean upgrading skills and weapons and resource management during matches, etc.), so... maybe at some point? Definitely not a focus for the studio right now though.
Yeah, it was called A&B. Not sure if that was that was included as one of 5 prototypes Moon was talking about at the time (one of which was a WWII project).
Nope! Multiplatform.
I can see private division or 505.
Oh so it is the same studio! I remember when the first ori was announced and I saw it was being made by moon, I was like that's very similar to that studio making that fps/ stratergy game, but then after ori came out I had already forgotten about warsoup completely 😅
Yeah, I still love the movement options, and it still feels fresh.
Agreed. I'm definitely interested to see what they have in store, but that's um, a tad presumptuous IMO.
Yeah, it was called A&B. Not sure if that was that was included as one of 5 prototypes Moon was talking about at the time (one of which was a WWII project).
Hah, yeah, I still have that somewhere. It was pretty cool for an early prototype, as I recall. I'm looking forward to seeing what it turned into.
Solid decision on both sides. Wallet is ready for both games.
So when we can expect reveal?
Multplat or with Xbox again?
You won't find another metroidvania this gen that was more praised than hollow knight.
Yeah you will. Ori lol. Or Dead Cells, or Axiom Verge or any of the other Metroidvanias that were better than Hollow Knight
I mean maybe to you personally, but hollow knight is more praised than all of those games in general
Ori is definitely top 5 for this whole generation for me. I loved the art, the pacing and escape sequences. So much heart and so well crafted. I love the focus on movement over combat. I look forward to anything Moon works on in the future. Bless you Thomas Mahler!
I love that you're taking the time to discuss on forums, and love the insights.
Good luck with your next endeavor.

That looks soo drab. I was hoping for something more colourful like Ori.
Ori is my favorite looking game of this decade and WotW could very well be my favorite looking game of the next decade, so I hope they keep going for such a striking and sumptuous art style, regardless of what it is.
Ori is fantastic. I 100% want to play Moon's next game and don't care if it's playable on a toaster as long as I can play on Xbox (only console I own).
