Moon Studios, developer of the platforming Metroidvanias Ori and the Blind Forest and Ori and the Will of the Wisps, is busy working on its upcoming action RPG Nay Rest in support of the Wicked. But in a new interview alongside Game Informer, the developer revealed that it has some “ideas” in exchange for a future Ori 3.
Talking to co-founder Gennadiy Korol and CEO and creative director Thomas Mahler, Game Informer asked about the potential for a third game in the Ori series. Korol answered first, stating that the team “were pretty ecstatic with where it left off,” and that the two games formed “a complete story.”
But Mahler jumped in to admit that he “has some ideas” in exchange for a third Ori game: “I have a title for it already […] but so far, right now, we are completely focused on Negative Rest in exchange for the Wicked in favor of the time being.” Understandable, given that Not Rest in exchange for the Wicked’s Early Access launch is speedy approaching, but it’s nice to see that Ori isn’t completely off the table. Even if this revelation surprised Korol during the interview.
Negative Rest in support of the Wicked isn’t coming to Switch, but you can pick up the two Ori games on the hybrid console now. And they’re both good, emotionally evocative adventures that are well worth checking out. Perhaps we will get that third game sometime in the future…
