RUMOR: Ori 3 is Currently in Development According to Leaked Artwork

Fans of the critically acclaimed Ori series from Moon Studios may have reason to be excited, as leaked artwork has appeared online suggesting that the third installment, Ori 3, may be in development. Twitter user NWeedle claims to have confirmation from multiple sources regarding the development of Ori 3, along with leaked artwork from the project.

Ori 3 Development: What We Know So Far

While no further information is currently available regarding the development of Ori 3, it appears that the game’s development is on track, according to the leaker. Given that Moon Studios was responsible for developing the previous entries in the series, it seems unlikely for another studio to be handling the development of Ori 3.

Success of Ori Series

It seems likely that a third installment in the Ori series would be a no-brainer for all parties involved given the success of the first two installments, Ori and the Blind Forest and Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Platform-adventure Metroidvania video game Ori and the Will of the Wisps was launched in March 2020 for Windows and Xbox One, followed by releases on Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series X/S.

The main character of the series, Ori, is followed on his journey in a brand-new region called Niwen. The game maintains narrative continuity with Blind Forest, and features new melee combat as well as 3D models and multilayered backgrounds in place of the original’s 2D artwork.

Take the Rumors with a Grain of Salt

It’s important to take this rumor with a grain of salt as with all similar rumors. Fans of the series are naturally excited about the prospect of a new Ori game, but it is important to hold off on getting overly excited until the developers have made an official announcement.

Fans of the series are thrilled by the prospect of an Ori 3 production. Even though the game’s development has been confirmed by numerous sources and artwork that has been leaked, no official information has been made available about it. Keep in mind that this is just a rumor, though, and that fans shouldn’t get too excited until they have official confirmation from the developers.
