Today, Microsoft announced the release date and revealed a new trailer for Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Moon Studios’ follow-up/sequel to Ori and the Blind Forest, it’s critically-acclaimed 2-D platformer that released back in 2015. Of course, it mostly looks like more Ori and the Blind Forest, but it has a new combat system and more ways to approach the game.
As you will know, the game was first announced last E3, and while we know it was coming in 2019, we didn’t have an exact release date. Further, we haven’t seen much of the game, so the new trailer is actually our best look at the game yet. And now we also have a release date: February 22, 2020.
