Fans of the Ori series can take a breather: the long-awaited continuation of forest spirit adventures is not yet in production at Saber Interactive. In a recent interview with Gamertag Radio, the company’s chief creative officer, Tim Willets, answered directly to a question about the studio’s involvement in a potential third part.
"No, we don’t do that," Willets succinctly commented on the speculation that had surfaced online just before Gamescom.
Recall that rumors about the development of Ori 3 were widely discussed in the gaming community, but Moon Studios itself, creating the original dilogy, is now focused on developing its new project - the action-RPG No Rest for the Wicked. Previously, the series director also called such guesses groundless.
While the rebuttal by Saber Interactive puts a stop to a specific rumor, it does not mean that the franchise is closed down forever. Fans continue to hope for a comeback of the series, but no official announcements have been made.
