Ori and the Blind Forest Gets a Release Date

Ori and the Blind Forest will release March 11 on Xbox One for $19.99, developer Moon Studios announced today. The side-scroller will also be made available on PC the same day.

Following its announcement at E3 last year, Ori and the Blind Forest was said to be coming in late in 2014. That didn’t happen, however, as Moon Studios in November announced a delay that it said would afford the development team the time it needed to “add a final layer of polish” to what it hopes “will be an unforgettable gaming experience.”

In conjunction with today’s release date reveal, Moon also gave those looking forward to its game more than five minutes of new footage to watch. Set in the game’s Forlorn Ruins section, the video demonstrates what appear to be two of Ori‘s main hooks: defying gravity while platforming and shooting weaponized bursts of light from a floating orb.
