Ori boss shares "one of the crazier ideas" for a possible third game that would flip the Metroidvania on its head: "Think Katamari, but with a Ghibli-twist"

.

Ori and the Blind Forest and Ori and the Will of the Wisps are already full of unique, really exciting twists on the Metroidvania formula, but developer Moon Studios' CEO Thomas Mahler has now shared a possibly "crazier idea" for a potential third game in the brilliant series.

"One of the crazier ideas I had for a potential Ori continuation at some point was inspired by this here," Mahler writes on social media alongside a link to Rebirth, a GameCube FMV tech demo following some sort of woodland creature as it wanders around the forest, before it eventually cocoons itself and grows into a giant tree.
