Similar to fellow metroidvania icon Hollow Knight, Ori and the Will of the Wisps also features a new shards system, which, in theory, should provide greater depth to the new abilities. When it comes to abilities, the developers have cited Diablo as an influence for this system, with its primary purpose being to encourage players tailor their playstyle in different ways. At any given time, three of these can be equipped to three different face buttons, and can provide both offensive and defensive advantages. Players will also have access to various abilities that can be used in combat. Weapons that can be used in combat include a fast-swinging Spirit Sword, a slow but strong hammer, a bow for ranged combat, a spirit bomb, and another slow and powerful projectile weapon, also for ranged combat. One way it will be doing that will be by allowing players to equip a variety of different weapons. Ori and the Blind Forest’s combat was perhaps one of the game’s most major (and very few) weaknesses, but Will of the Wisps is making several upgrades on that front. From icy caves and swamps to other much more sinister locations teeming with new and more dangerous threats, expect to see a lot more environmental diversity. Some locations will be returning, but there will be a host of new ones too, and they’ll range across a variety of different kinds of environments. Given that Ori and the Will of the Wisps will see Ori travelling to the world outside Nibel forest, you can expect it to feature a much larger map than the first game. It’s been confirmed that the game will take players beyond the boundaries of the Nibel forest, which was the setting of the first game, as players unravel the truth about the lost ones, and unravel the mysteries surrounding Ori’s destiny.
But though they haven’t yet revealed much about the game, they have promised an emotional narrative experience. Given how crucial (and impactful) the story was in Blind Forest, fans are more than a little curious to know what the central narrative conceit is going to be in its sequel, but Moon Studios have been keeping that information pretty close to their chest. So without further ado, let’s dive right in. Obviously, we’re quite excited to get our hands on it, and as we gear up for its imminent launch, in this feature, we’ll be talking about a few key piece of info on the game that you need to know about. Ori and the Will of the Wisps looks beautiful and exhilarating, and so far, it seems like it’s going to improve upon its predecessor in truly meaningful ways. Moon Studios delivered one of the best games in the Xbox One library and of the metroidvania genre in 2015 with Ori and the Blind Forest, and soon, they’ll be bringing more of that magic and beauty with its sequel.
