'Ori and the Will of the Wisps' is delayed by a month to March 11th
There was some disappointing news out of The Game Awards if you've been looking forward to Ori and the Will of the Wisps: it'll now arrive on Xbox One and PC March 11th, instead of February 11th as previously announcd. However, developer Moon Studios might have softened the blow a bit with a new gameplay trailer for the Ori and the Blind Forest sequel.
Ori and the Blind Forest lights up Xbox One & PC this March
Ori and the Blind Forest is set to mix beauty with beastly platforming when it hits Xbox One and PC on March 11. Moon Studios' side-scroller is priced $20 on both platforms. Ori caught the eye last year with its picturesque look, comparable to the UbiArt engine as seen in the watercolor-like Child of Light. What also caught Richard Mitchell's eye in our preview was the speedy, precise platforming. According to the developer, Ori's agile, fluid movement was inspired by Super Meat Boy - when we say fluid, we don't mean the red kind. Ori is a less gruesome, more spiritual affair then Team Meat's offering, but its air-dash combos and wall-to-wall platforming tricks look like they require some dexterity.
Pretty platformer Ori and the Blind Forest delayed to 2015
Bad news for fans of the lovely and ethereal, as developer Moon Studios has revealed that Xbox One and PC platformer Ori and the Blind Forest will not make its previously-announced pre-holiday launch window. "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," reads a notice posted by the developers. While Moon Studios does not have a specific date in mind, it is now aiming to launch Ori and the Blind Forest at some point in "early 2015." [Image: Microsoft]

Moon Studios unveils gorgeous 2D Ori And The Blind Forest
Though developer Moon Studios offered no solid details on the upcoming Ori And The Blind Forest, the cinematic shown during Microsoft's E3 conference offered a tantalizing glimpse of a very attractive 2D art style complemented by fluid, almost Ghibli-esque animation.
RTS and FPS mixed up into a Warsoup
Moon Studios' upcoming game Warsoup combines a sci-fi-style first-person shooter with an RTS-style view of all of your teammates, creating a hybrid of, as the developers put it, Starcraft and Halo. It also uses a somewhat cartoony, "minimalist" look, which is likely important in a game in which you have to focus on building resources in addition to shooting. There's also an interesting class-based upgrading mechanic that allows players to dynamically adjust their abilities. Check out some gameplay footage after the break, narrated by devs from Moon Studios. Judging from icons displayed at the end of the video, Moon is aiming for PS3, Xbox 360, PC, and Mac releases, and even browser versions.
