Rumours of a third Ori game are "nonsense", confirms series creator

Rumors of a third game in the popular Ori series are unfounded, according to creator Thomas Maher. In a recent post on social media, Maher, CEO of Moon Studios which developed Ori and the Will of the Wisps, rejected these rumors, reiterating that the development of their action-RPG No Rest for the Wicked is still ongoing. The rumors about a potential new Ori game reportedly began on the Resetera forum and quickly spread across social media platforms.

Despite the persistent rumors, Maher confirmed that the Ori 3 speculation is simply nonsense. He also revealed that he had a dinner with Gareth Coker, the series composer, who mentioned during their conversation that he believes the team is ready to create another game. The last installment, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, launched in 2020, but it came with several bugs.

Since then, Moon Studios has shifted its focus to No Rest for the Wicked, which, despite a shaky start, has received positive reviews from players following numerous updates. This action-RPG is slated for a full release on PC and PS5 in October.
