Yea.... Ori and the Owl are surely incompatible by nature. 99% chance its going to be feels town.
Nice. It will probably be my GOTY :)Thanks for all the positive thoughts, folks!
We're all super excited about how people will react to Will of the Wisps, can't wait to watch people on streams check out all the new abilities, spells, weapons and of course the story.
In more ways than one, Will of the Wisps feels like Blind Forests bigger brother, so I'm pretty confident in saying that if you even just liked Blind Forest, Will of the Wisps will make you very happy :)
My hope is that we shipped one of the best games of the year. Tough competition this year with Last of Us 2, Cyberpunk, etc, but we did what we could. Here's me hoping that everyone out there shares our vision, you never know at the end of the day as a creator how people will react, so... wish us luck! :)
It'll be my GAME OF THE YEAR for sure - Yes The Last of Us Part II is also coming this year but THIS game will take it for me.Thanks for all the positive thoughts, folks!

Not if Silksong comes out.
Can't wait for Switch version like they did for the first one <3
Is this confirmed or is it just speculation based on the first game being on Switch? I'd love to see this game on Switch too seeing as I don't have an Xbox or gaming PC.Can't wait for Switch version like they did for the first one <3
Speculation. I mean: why bringing first Ori if they don't plan to bring second one too? It's the only reason i have not picked the first one yet. I wanna be sure second game will come tooIs this confirmed or is it just speculation based on the first game being on Switch? I'd love to see this game on Switch too seeing as I don't have an Xbox or gaming PC.
It's been been 5 years since Ori 1? Time flies so incredibly fast jesus.

I'm super proud of the team we built - It's not always been easy, but at the end of the day, I think we created something with Will of the Wisps that everyone will remember as something they'll be proud having been a part of.

As you very much should. Ori and the Blind Forest had this inescapable feeling that it's a personal labor of a passionate team. Every level had its own identity and theme. I enjoyed my time with it, and every time I replayed there was more things to appreciate.
I have a question.
While Ori aces it by a small margin in my opinion thanks to better and more lively animation and more meaningful level variety, the only other game that felt this way was Hollow Knight. It came out, as I am sure you know, during the development course of the Will of the Wisps.
I remember reading your opinion on it, that you enjoyed it but you felt it lacked in combat in addition to other gripes.
Still, having loved Hollow Knight almost as much as the Blind Forest, and recognizing that Hollow Knight was a much deeper Metroidviania, while the Blind Forest was more of a platformer with Metroidviania elements.
During the time you developed Hollow Knight, what were things you felt you had to include in the Will of the Wisps?
What other Hollow Knight elements you guys felt you had to incorporate one way or another?
I think you guys took inspiration from its charm system, which it's great.
I also know you guys added side quests, but in a more streamlined way.
Yes, of course!Is the Steam version releasing the same day and date as Xbox/Windows?
Please no. I liked Ori, but the part where you had to keep going upwards quickly to avoid the rising water was incredibly frustrating.
