Last year, Microsoft and Moon Studios released an astonishing platformer called Ori and the Blind Forest – but in case you missed it, don’t worry, as a retail version is on the way.
Nordic Games has announced that it will release physical copies of Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition, set to arrive on June 14th for Xbox One. The game will be available in two different versions, including a standard edition and a limited edition that includes a Steelbox, an audio soundtrack, a pair of postcards and two double-sided posters. Both editions come with a quickstart guide and premium packaging.
“My colleagues and I at Nordic Games were Ori fans from the very beginning”, said Reinhard Pollice, Business and Product Development Director at Nordic Games. “There is a fundamental connection with platformers in our team. Combine this with the unique art style, the gripping atmosphere, and the immaculate gameplay of Ori and the Blind Forest, and you’ll see our team drooling all over this amazing game. In more formal words: We are more than happy to work together with Microsoft Studios and Moon Studios and publish this gem of a game in its PC retail version and give it the physical representation it deserves.”
“Since we released Ori and the Blind Forest, we’ve received many mails, tweets and requests from fans asking for a boxed retail release, so we’re extremely pleased to finally make everyone’s wish come true,” said Thomas Mahler, CEO of Moon Studios. “We hope that all of you will be pleased with what we’ve put together for this retail release of Ori and the Blind Forest Definitive Edition. We can’t wait to finally see Ori and the Blind Forest on shelves and we once again want to thank all of our fans and everyone who supported Moon and Ori over the last few years – we’re deeply humbled and appreciative, thank you so much!”
Ori and the Blind Forest is well worth checking out, so don’t miss it this time around!
