Players hoping for a new entry in the Ori franchise should temper their expectations. The series has not seen a third installment, and the studio behind it has officially shut down speculation about its development. This clarification matters to fans who have been tracking potential sequels for years.
Director dismisses sequel speculation while studio explores IP rights
Thomas Mahler, the director of Ori, addressed the persistent rumors directly. He stated that reports claiming a third Ori game is in production are false. His comments serve as a definitive denial from the creative leadership of the project.
Mahler went further by characterizing the rumors as nonsense. This strong language indicates that no official development work is underway for a sequel. The studio has not released any technical details or timelines for a new title.
While a new game is not happening, Moon Studios is exploring other options for the franchise. The studio has discussed the possibility of acquiring the intellectual property rights to the Ori series. This move suggests they want to secure control over the brand, even without a new game in development.
