ori_and_the_blind_forest

Moon Studios CEO Thomas Mahler took to NeoGaf this week to talk about the current state of Ori and the Blind Forest. He revealed that the critical darling has also become a commercial success, becoming profitable within its first week. All the extra money will be going to the studio to fund future projects, so the best way to support the studio would be to buy the game and recommend it to friends. For now the studio is working on a patch for the game, as well as hiring new talent and prototyping new projects.

In another post Mahler goes on to discuss the possible future for Ori and his desire to continue working on the IP with Microsoft. He said that he has an idea where the story could go, stating that “there was actually quite a lot of lore we created that didn’t really make it into Blind Forest“. It’s entirely possible the next entry in the series won’t even be a game, as he thinks the story would translate well into a movie.
