News: There will be a retail version released next month for Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition that comes with some pretty cool stuff.

Nordic Games has revealed that they will be bringing Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition to retail. They are teaming up with Microsoft and Moon Studios to bring the Steam version to retail. If you prefer to play your games on the Xbox One then Microsoft will be partnering up with stores across the US to release the retail version. There will be two different editions available with the Standard and Limited Edition and both are scheduled to be released on June 14, 2016, during E3 week.

“My colleagues and I at Nordic Games were Ori fans from the very beginning”, said Reinhard Pollice, Business and Product Development Director at Nordic Games. “There is a fundamental connection with platformers in our team. Combine this with the unique art style, the gripping atmosphere, and the immaculate gameplay of Ori and the Blind Forest, and you’ll see our team drooling all over this amazing game. In more formal words: We are more than happy to work together with Microsoft Studios and Moon Studios and publish this gem of a game in its PC retail version and give it the physical representation it deserves.”

"Since we released Ori and the Blind Forest, we’ve received many mails, tweets and requests from fans asking for a boxed retail release, so we're extremely pleased to finally make everyone's wish come true,” said Thomas Mahler, CEO of Moon Studios. “We hope that all of you will be pleased with what we’ve put together for this retail release of Ori and the Blind Forest Definitive Edition. We can't wait to finally see Ori and the Blind Forest on shelves and we once again want to thank all of our fans and everyone who supported Moon and Ori over the last few years - we're deeply humbled and appreciative, thank you so much!”
