In recent years, Xbox's indie partnerships have been nothing short of impressive, especially when it comes to bringing some of the most exciting titles to Xbox Game Pass. However, it's an Xbox-published series that truly stands out in this regard over the past decade — and the latest entry in that series is approaching a significant milestone.
As you can likely guess from the stunning artwork we've showcased above, the series in question is Ori, and the nearly five-year-old game we're talking about is Ori and the Will of the Wisps, which launched for Xbox One back in March 2020. In just under a month, this second installment in the series will officially be five years old. It's hard to believe that much time has passed since its release — it still feels like it was just yesterday that we were playing it on our Xbox consoles!
As we've mentioned before, we're big fans of the Ori series, with The Will of the Wisps making an especially strong impression. When the game launched, we called it "the best platformer on Xbox One," and we still stand by that statement. Honestly, it remains one of the top platformers even in the Xbox Series X|S era!
So here's an early happy fifth birthday to Ori and the Will of the Wisps! While the series might be on hiatus at the moment, the developers have expressed their intent to collaborate with Xbox again in the future. We can only hope that whatever they cook up next will be as exceptional as this unforgettable title.
