Ori and the Blind Forest is a gameplay developed by Moon Studios; it is an artistic indie platformer announced at Gamescom 2014 and is expected to be released this year.
Though developers mainly are "excited" for the games' launch, given the fact that it has earned great feedback from fans after its promotion, still they moved it on early 2015.
Here is what Moon Studios posted on the Ori and the Blind Forest website:
Dear Ori Fans,
While we're extremely excited for all of you to get your hands on Ori and the Blind Forest as soon as possible, we made the decision together with our partners at Microsoft Studios that we'll need just a little more time in order to add a final layer of polish to - what we hope - will be an unforgettable gaming experience.
So far, we've given you small glimpses of Ori at E3, Gamescom and Tokyo Game Show and we're looking forward to inviting you on this journey when we'll be releasing Ori and the Blind Forest Early 2015 exclusively for Xbox One and PC and later that year also for Xbox 360.
Moon Studios wants to thank all the Ori and the Blind Forest fans out there for their continued encouragement and their amazing support.
Many thanks,
Moon Studios
In order to polish the game Ori and the Blind Forest, Moon Studios along with Microsoft Studios, made the decision to hold the game a little bit longer, and said that the developments of the game will make it an "unforgettable gaming experience".
Ori and the Blind Forest will tell the story of a young spirit who comes of age as he is being raised by a big, furry, troll-looking creature. Games press from multiple outlets were won over by the title's charm and art style at E3, with Ori and the Blind Forest walking away with multiple Best Game of E3 and other rewards.
Ori And The Blind Forest will be available on early 2015 on both PC and Xbox One. However, until now there is no word yet on the Xbox 360 version release date.
For further clarifications, Moon Studio tweeted that Xbox 360 version is coming.
Just to clear the confusion: The 360 version of Ori and the Blind Forest is absolutely still coming! :)
