When I first played Hollow Knight, I didn't like the pacing of it - It just felt a bit drawn out to me and the actual moment-to-moment level design also felt a bit basic. They obviously didn't spend anywhere near the resources we did on Platforming and Level Design and we didn't spend anywhere near the resources they did on combat (during the Blind Forest days, I mean). I've obviously completed the game since then and think it's great overall, but I'm not a fan of arguing which game is better since to me they're doing very different things within the genre.

I don't know if we were all that much inspired by Hollow Knight, they just tried to do a very different thing than what we are focusing on. Ori is and always has been a precision-platformer at heart. Our Design-Credo during the development of Will of the Wisps was to ensure that Will of the Wisps has to become to Blind Forest what Super Mario Bros 3 was to Super Mario Bros 1. The core stays intact, but everything gets major improvements.

So in the end, I'm sure tons of people will compare Hollow Knight and Will of the Wisps and I'd say the comparisons this time will be more apt since we did spend a ton of resources this time on combat as well... but at the end of the day, let's be honest, it's just awesome that we see multiple high-quality 2d games get released every year again. So I'd say let's focus on that :)

We finished Ori and the Blind Forest Definitive Edition in March of 2016 and then immediately started to work on Ori and the Will of the Wisps. It took us another 4 years again because we always wanted to make sure that WotW won't feel like a cheap cashgrab sequel. It would've been fairly easy to just take the stuff we had from Blind Forest and basically make a whole bunch of new levels and call it a day, but that's just not how Moon operates. We're trying to build the kinda studio that'll get the reputation Blizzard had pre-Activision: We always want gamers to know that when we shipped something, we tried our very best to deliver something remarkable. Ideally every game should become a masterpiece... even if it often feels like we're torturing ourselves, but in the end we're always happy if we were able to squeeze that last ounce of quality into something.

At the end of the day, the team always gets a huge push from seeing how fans react to the stuff that we made and we're currently in this weird state where we've lived and breathed Will of the Wisps for the past 4 years, but we've been very secretive overall, so most of you haven't seen anything yet. There's so much stuff in Will of the Wisps that will blow you folks away, things that we probably shouldn't even have done as a developer cause it was way too risky - but we did it anyway, cause everyone in the studio is constantly chasing quality.

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.

So buckle up, folks, March 11th isn't far away anymore and I think Will of the Wisps is turning out to become an experience that most people didn't expect to come out of our studio. We're still small and scrappy, but I hope people will see Will of the Wisps as a true AAA-quality 2d game, something the industry usually doesn't support these days, cause it's a crazy thing to do.

Our folks who worked on Ori will take a short break after the release and then everyone will start working on the ARPG we've also been working on. This journey never ends, but I hope we'll make you all happy along the way :)

Ori and the Will of the Wisps starts the very moment where Ori and the Blind Forest ended, that's why you see Swallows Nest there :)
And yeah, currently there's a Press Preview Event happening in SF and the embargo for the previews is lifting on 26th of February at 12:01am. Gareth (our composer) is also there for interviews, etc. :)
So, not long anymore and you folks will get a whole bunch of new footage and previews!

After the first bit of gameplay the game completely opens up and you can decide where to go and complete areas in whatever order you desire. So we’ll definitely see very different walkthroughs depending on which things the players chose to do first. The non-linearity also extends to abilities, weapons and spells :)

Бука сказала что русской локализации не будет

Довольно странно, ведь она есть в игре.

Стоп, а бука издает у нас игру? Она же только в цифре или я что-то пропустил?

Довольно странно, ведь она есть в игре.

Может они про ритейл говорили.

There's Easy, Normal and Hard - But you should really pick Normal for your first playthrough. Hard is REALLY hard. Like, I'm not kidding you, Hard Mode should be only played once you completed the game on Normal a few times
