Overview
- Over the weekend multiple industry insiders led by leaker NateTheHate suggested a new Ori title is in the works for Xbox, though the claim remains unconfirmed.
- Windows Central commentator Jez Corden gave partial corroboration by saying Xbox plans notable Gamescom announcements and hinted at an unexpected sequel reveal.
- Moon Studios has publicly said the Ori story is 'complete for now' and is focused on No Rest for the Wicked, and its CEO later called the Ori-3 rumors 'nonsense.'
- Reporting and forum posts point to the project being handed to a third-party developer, with an unverified ResetEra claim naming a division of Saber Interactive.
- The franchise’s strong sales and acclaim make a follow-up commercially plausible and, if announced, the move could change who shapes Ori’s future and how quickly a sequel appears.
