When things got fully started at the Xbox Briefing today, they brought in the sequel to “Ori and the Blind Forest!” The same, gorgeous graphics and mixture of cheerful and ominous scenes are back and hopefully better than ever! Unfortunately, we won’t be seeing “Ori and the Will of the Wisps” (Xbox One and Windows 10) until 2019.
Moon Studios promises that the game has maintained the same visual and musical style that we fell in love with in the last game! This time around, though, they’ve revamped the combat system! There are dozens of new spirit weapons, spells, and skills to toy with as you blast through your enemies and face down daunting bosses. There is also a new “shard system” which you can use to upgrade Ori’s abilities!
You can discover allies along the way, fight bosses the size of Big Ben, and bend your mind over puzzles! Let’s hope that the story in this new installment lives up to its predecessor’s! We are all looking forward to adventuring in this beautiful, immersive world and learning more about Ori themselves! Besides, some of these pictures are just adorable!
Enjoy the nostalgia kick when this beauty comes out!
