Moon Studios’ Ori and the Blind Forest received critical acclaim when it was released in 2015 for Xbox One and Windows. The 2D platformer was praised for its tight controls and challenging (but fair) gameplay. In 2016, Moon Studios released the Definitive Edition, which contained more areas, and a new difficulty system. This included a One-Life mode to truly test the most skilled players.
On August 19, Moon Studios announced that Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition will be receiving a Nintendo Switch release. The edition will still include all of the features of the original Definitive Edition release. Even better, the Switch port will run at 1080p and 60 fps.
The Metroidvania inspired platformer follows the story of Ori, who is on a persistent quest of sacrifice and self-identity. Ori also has to find a way to escape the clutches of Kuro, the dark owl. Ori can jump, climb, and interact with the environment, all while facing off multiple enemies. Ori must find a way to preserve the forest at all costs.
Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition will be released for Nintendo Switch on September 27. Moon Studios is also developing a sequel to the beloved game, Ori and the Will of the Wasps. As of right now, the sequel is slated for a February 2020 release window.
