Whoa, that's huge news.
My wallet is ready. Make it exciting and allow us to return to any location. Please no more locking out locations in exchange for set pieces. That's all I ask.

Guys,
We're super happy to announce this
The idea behind the DE is that we listened to ALL the feedback you guys all gave us and if you didn't like something about Ori, we'll make sure that you don't have anything more to wish for with the DE. It's literally going to be the definitive version of Ori
We're also adding new areas and abilities and I think it's some of the best stuff we've done so far - so if you liked Ori, trust me, the DE will make you very happy. I think we're literally addressing every single thing people have asked for and we want to do a perfect job for you guys. I'm not allowed to say more than that atm, but we'll share more info in the upcoming weeks.
Again, thank you guys for your support. I hope we'll be able to make you proud of us

Good hype post, Thomas! I'm looking forward to it.
Is there anything to announce on the 360 version? Seems like an expansion ahead of that version being released would imply that it's not coming out?

Good stuff. Really awesome that you guys took the feedback and tackled it head on. I imagine a lot of the stuff people wanted wasn't particularly easy to do.
Looking forward to jumping back into Ori.

Neat. I can't wait to get more Ori. I hope it's priced nicely for owners of the game.
It's not coming for a while. I'd play it now and play it then.

We don't have that info yet, but we know you guys want it and we made sure Microsoft knows that you want it
The size of the game is about right as is. Not sure adding more areas is a good thing, maybe if those hot tub things lead to challenge areas that would be more ideal.
The game needs better balance as well. Enemies should take about 20% more damage from the get go and they respawn too quickly in some areas.
This. Also doubling the hot tub things into fast travel points would be nice, even if they don't activate until that areas temple is cleared.
I finished the game but missed four achievements due to how you get locked out of areas.

Great game, looking forward to more.
I do wish that every environment was re-visitable after you beat it. Most of them were but a handful, because of the story, did not allow you to go back to them. I feel like they could have designed that better.

Will there be a discount for current version owners for the new version? Or will you sell it as DLC?

Yay, more Ori! I was actually kinda sad when it ended and there was nothing left to do.
Man, I adore Ori so much, but please, please, please make this some kind of discounted upgrade for existing owners. There's no way I'll pay full price for another copy so soon.

@thomasmahler> why dodge the 360 version question ?

Did they ever address the performance hitches on XB1?
Was kind of jarring and took me out of the experience at times. Game was fantastic otherwise and I'd welcome additional content. Would be nice if they allowed you to revisit the dungeons as well.

Or at least make the things people asked for like NG+ and going back to areas for 100% a free patch. I understand if they want to charge for the new areas and abilities

To be perfectly honest. It's bad enough when all the disc based $60 games have DLC every time you turn around but a $20 downloadable game? Come on. Instead of DLC, make sure the game is complete or use that DLC towards a sequel.
I know that it's entirely optional just like it is for disc based $60 games but instead of releasing DLC, why not just include it in the game itself to begin with or save it for a sequel?
This is why I have $10 limit for ALL downloadable games as to me, anything more simply isn't worth the cost. And yeah, Ori is a great plat-former but to release a DE five months later is ridiculous. I thought Tomb Raider DE ten months later was bad but this is worse and it being downloadable game doesn't help.
Really hoping that gaming never goes all digital because I'll be done simply because every time you turn around, you'll be getting ripped off.

I played through it about a month ago and it ran pretty well. Still a couple dips occasionally but nothing jarring.

Not trying to dodge, just can't say anything about it yet.

FUCKING YES!
I don't understand why Microsoft greenlights these 360 versions of games and then does their very very best to hide them as long as possible
Anyways, I'll gladly pay for some extra areas along with NG+ and no missable collectibles :O
Maybe there will be a "memory" orb or something like that letting us replay areas that would get locked before in the game? There has to be a natural way to do it.

I'm guessing you can't say anything about price or an upgrade cost either?
this gonna address collectables? in the sense of being able to go back to get them all? that kinda bummed me out on my playthrough not being able to go back to some areas without warning
will regular version saves do anything with it?
