I'm REALLY looking forward to this! I wonder what new abilities Ori will get this time... I loved the traversal mechanics in the first game!

Hahahaha, can't wait to tell you guys more about Will of the Wisps! We've been working our butts off and it's already something really specialCan't wait to show more - we'll talk a little about it on the Xbox Daily Show!
After all this time I finally started playing the first game this weekend. I don't want it to end.
I'm psyched for part 2.
Wow....simply amazing. Honestly surprised they posted the track so soon.

Guessing I should get the definitive version for 10 bucks on XBL?
Is this on PC? And if so does it run it 4k?

Yeah (WinStore), and presumably.

...lacks reading comprehension.
That's my main concern. They will just remove all abilities and we will have to get them again, I hate when games do that. Which is why I would prefer a new main character in the same universe.

Not all Metroidvanias go this route. Games like Metroid Prime 3 and Arkham City/Knight let you keep many of your old abilities and add new ones for you to find.

Ori is one of my favorite Metroid-style games, and this sequel hitting all the same notes the first one did before it released.

A genuine exclusive worth touting about.

Yeah and I think it would be complicated without the slow upgrades to help you learn the moves as you progress through the game. And I like the feeling of starting out weak and end up super strong, revisiting old areas with new abilities is always great in most games but in Blind Forest it was awesome, only rivaled by Super Metroid imo.
The skill tree branches could be longer and more diversed though, so you could replay the game and place the skill points differently and it would feel like a completely different game.

This looked amazing. The most visually impressive game I saw at the MS conference, including Anthem.

Yasssss! Posted above before I saw your reply. Can't wait to log another 300+ hours in you guys and gals' universe!!
I tweeted another pic of the print I got.
Gosh I love that thing. I want to reframe into a double-border mat framing, but I can't find a frame style that does it justice!Thanks for this! Bought it already! Gareth's music for Ori will stand up for decades to come as some of the best, most haunting musical creations for any game. So unbelievably memorable, just like the game.
I loved every single track on the first. You guys crafted a masterpiece. You made it better in the Def Edition. And now this? I can't even. As a gamer of 30 years now, hands down best combination of visuals, gameplay, and music ever. Thank you!
GAF, you guys better get ready for another #SpreadTheFeels campaign!!
It would be a steal at $59.99. You're a damn fool if you don't buy it at $10.

Yeah I don't get how they do it, it pulls all the right strings with the music and animation, it all gets so increadibly emotional, it was even better the second time for me when you notice all the little emotions from the animation.
Nothing will ever top Brothers a Tale of two Sons for me when it comes to getting emotional, it just blew the flood gates wide open, but I bet most of us will be playing Will of the Wisp with teary eyes just like Blind Forest judging by this trailer.
Your team's work shows manHahahaha, can't wait to tell you guys more about Will of the Wisps! We've been working our butts off and it's already something really special
Game looks fucking incredible!

This looks incredible. The first one is one there with one of my favourite games of all time. So hyped!
Hardly "killed it". No need for the over zealous exagerations. Still a beautiful looking game.

Theory on ability reset: Ori gained his abilities via
right?
at the end of Blind Forest (ending spoilers!), which could mean Ori lost at least part of his advanced abilities in the next game. I can see them keeping some of the old abilities as baseline, and introduce new ones down the line.

No, seriously and not to turn this thread into another 60/30 thread but the animation in 60 makes it look that much better.
If you don't agree it's fine but yes to me it's almost necessary to play this in 60fps. The beautiful animation is lost in 30.

A believable theory.
I could also see some possibility for co-op here. Doubt it just because it would take away from the fluidity of the game waiting on a partner. But that's a solid theory for ability reset, not to mention the new abilities being DIFFERENT than those from the first game.
Also I am getting distinct 'boss fight' vibes from the trailer. Might be assuming too much, but I just have this tingling in my Ori senses.

Really hope its also on Steam. There is no issue that its Windows 10 exclusive, but it would suck if its only available through the Windows 10 store. These games usually run like shit on my laptop. Hope it performes as well as Ori and the blind forest.
Danke, Thomas! Thank you so much for your and your team's hard work on these games. They are true gems of the industry.

I'm still tripping out over the fact that there's more Ori. As much as I don't want Moon to trap themselves into one IP, I hope we see more of these games for many more years. Nothing else comes close in art and music and I had virtually no problems with the gameplay or story. I can't stress enough how much I appreciate the artistic perfection that went into the first game.
The Ori soundtrack is a pleasant listen cover to cover. Anytime I'm doing conceptwork or design, I have it on and it's tremendously inspiring.

epic boss fights and optional coop (like a character that is running around with you during SP but player controlled if you want) would make this sequel game of the forever for me. It'd be decidedly different from the first game of course, but I'm sure Moon will deliver on them.

Their use of colour and light is always outstanding
It won't be on Steam at launch. Microsoft has never released a "Windows 10" game on the WinStore and Steam simultaneously and, not to suggest he's in the wrong as I doubt Moon has any say in the matter and has probably been told not to comment, Thomas hasn't addressed the question -- which has been asked several times -- despite posting twice.

Will there be a physical version again? And will I have to import it again, if I am in Europe?
Great you are making a second one!
