88 Ori and the Will of the Wisps

Release date: tbd

One of the better indie games in recent years, the acclaimed 2015 Metroidvania-style platformer Ori and the Blind Forest could get its first sequel in 2018. Developer Moon Studios hasn't revealed much about Wisps' story or gameplay. Fortunately, early trailers suggest that the original game's stunning art design (and musical score) will be maintained in Ori's new adventure, which will take place in a new region and involve an owl character. The game should again be exclusive to Microsoft gamers (PC and Xbox).
