Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition follows a young orphan destined for heroics as the forest of Nibel begins to die. After a powerful storm sets off a chain of devastating events, Ori must find courage and confront a dark nemesis to save the forest. Crafted by Moon Studios, this action-platformer tells a deeply emotional story of love and sacrifice through hand-painted artwork, meticulously animated performances, and a fully orchestrated score.

The Definitive Edition expands the original with a wealth of new material. Two brand-new environments delve into Naru's past, and you can master two fresh abilities, Dash and Light Burst, alongside the ability to explore Nibel faster by teleporting between Spirit Wells. There are new secret areas to uncover, additional story sequences, multiple difficulty modes, and full backtracking support, all layered on top of the original adventure.

Blending action, puzzle, and platforming elements suited to players and families alike, the game pairs precise, challenging movement with a heartfelt tale about the hope that lives within us all. On PC, this enhanced edition stands as the fullest way to experience Ori's journey through the beautiful, imperiled world of Nibel.
