'Ori and the Blind Forest' (ALL) Delayed Until 2015

by Rainier on Nov. 21, 2014 @ 6:06 p.m. PST

A puzzle platformer that combines deep gameplay with emotional storytelling, Ori and the Blind Forest delivers a stunningly beautiful visual aesthetic that will warm even the coldest hearts.

The coming of age story is a timeless, universal narrative that we’ve seen in many different forms over the years.

Ori and the Blind Forest tells the story of Ori, a Guardian Spirit, who, at birth, has been cast away from his home. He grows up with Naru, his ‘stepmother’ and lives happily with her until the forest suddenly decays. After that, Ori has to venture out and find out more about himself. It’s a coming-of-age story, really. It’s an allegorical tale about responsibility and making sacrifices for the ones we love.

Running at 60 frames per second and in full 1080p, Ori and the Blind Forest will feature a wide-open world blended with “Metroidvania” style gameplay, allowing players to organically find the secrets and items that will help them progress.

Dear Ori Fans,

While we’re extremely excited for all of you to get your hands on Ori and the Blind Forest as soon as possible, we made the decision together with our partners at Microsoft Studios that we’ll need just a little more time in order to add a final layer of polish to – what we hope – will be an unforgettable gaming experience.

So far, we’ve given you small glimpses of Ori at E3, Gamescom and Tokyo Game Show and we’re looking forward to inviting you on this journey when we’ll be releasing Ori and the Blind Forest Early 2015 exclusively for Xbox One and PC.

Moon Studios wants to thank all the Ori and the Blind Forest fans out there for their continued encouragement and their amazing support.

Many thanks,

Moon Studios
