The independent study confirms that there will be small RPG mechanics and an autosave system, among other details.
The new Moon Studios is loaded with news. Ori and the Will of the Wisps follows the steps of the previous game of the saga, but includes some additions, such as a new mission system, which can be accessed from the map. In an interview with Metro.co.uk, the developers have admitted that The Legend of Zelda has been one of its influences when it comes to building the title, which also has touches of role.
“Yes, there is a great influence of Zelda this time. Not only are the missions of the golden path a little less linear, but you can choose a particular wasp instead of the other, ”they explain. “Now there are secondary missions, which we have tried to give a lot of personality. According to the study, they have expanded the cast of characters, so that even secondary missions have emotional weight. "I feel that emotional quality is really the way Ori is trying to honor the metroidvania genre," but going one step further. "I have no record of many other metroidvanias that make you cry," he concludes.
The truth is that the sequel to Ori and the Blind Forest implements RPG mechanics, which are combined with platforms and action. "This time we will incorporate many more role elements, not only in regard to the progression of the character, because that is very unique, but also" it is possible to equip fragments, not to mention combat, "which is very cool on this IP. " In fact, the scale is also larger, as it will be three times larger than Blind Forest. That means the experience will last even longer.
A change in the save system
Moon Studios was aware that many players enjoyed the save system, but also heard the voices of users who felt frustrated. "We have almost completely eliminated that frustration by adding autosave everywhere," they stress. What will return are the escape sequences, which have benefited from the experience of the team members who have worked at Rayman. They assure that these scenes are "even better" than in the previous installment, as are the battles with the final bosses.
Ori and the Will of the Wisps will go on sale next March 11 on Xbox One and PC. All Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will have access to the video game from day one.
