Any idea on the regional availability of the CE?

Very good, thank you!BestBuy already has their Pre-Order page up:

Should become available world-wide. Also, the Collectors Edition IS limited, so it'll probably be sold out very quickly. If anyone lives in Vienna or sees me at Gamescom or E3 at some point, I'd gladly sign the Box for you :) We specifically designed a classy, beautiful black box and asked Microsoft to only use high quality materials, which is why there's a 20$ gap between the normal edition and this one, but I think collectors will deem it worthy, I certainly would :) Gareth's Piano Collection Soundtrack CD is also exclusive in that box and the hard-cover ArtBook that's in it also looks super nice. We worked together with Future Press on it for the past few months, it contains tons of artwork that was created by Moon over the past 4 years... I think the value for the box will quickly go up instead of down due to the limited availability.

I am fully digital on Xbox, but I will make an exception for this beauty. Thanks for highlighting it.Reposting it for anyone who missed the post:

Keep in mind with the amount of games coming out next year many people are on a tight budget and sometimes a choice have to made regarding a game purchase, i will be playing day 1 but i do believe February was a better release window for the game.I think we feel pretty confident internally that it'll be one of the strongest games out next year - We've been putting years of hard work into Will of the Wisps and are polishing like crazy still. We're not too afraid of any month, what matters is that when we launch, you'll be able to sit down and feel like you're playing something truly special - that's what we want to deliver :)
Gamepass is $5 a month thoKeep in mind with the amount of games coming out next year many people are on a tight budget and sometimes a choice have to made regarding a game purchase, i will be playing day 1 but i do believe February was a better release window for the game.
That's not buying a game, merely a rent, i have gamepass but I'll be buying this on steam.
Hope it doesn't actually require Windows 10 like the Steam page says, I know some other games that list 10 as a requirement still work on 7/8. I'm still on Windows 8.1 and haven't had a reason to update to 10, would rather not do it yet if I don't have to.
sonofabitch I don't have an XBox but that collector's edition is so sexy.
I will be getting this day 1. I'm so insanely excited. thomasmahler I'm so proud of you and your studio and what it can accomplish. This is my most anticipated game of 2020 and it's not even close.
Thanks, I may end up just switching to 10 by that point but it's good to know it'll probably still work if I don't.Well, Windows 10 is what we're all using, but I don't see why Will of the Wisps wouldn't run even on Windows 7.
Thanks so much :) Yeah, it's been a long road, but we're pretty happy with where we are right now and there's obviously more stuff being worked on in the background that's already shaping up super nicely. When Blind Forest shipped, we were still a crafty, smaller indie dev, but by now we're becoming more and more of a powerhouse and we'll soft-announce something soon that should clarify that we're not messing around and are going to compete at the highest level. It's gonna be fun :D
Pre-ordered that Special Edition mostly for CD.
And if the first game ever got a CD I'd buy it, too.
If it's as great as the first it's worth the wait. Thanks Thomas. Any chance there will be a digital collectors version?I think we feel pretty confident internally that it'll be one of the strongest games out next year - We've been putting years of hard work into Will of the Wisps and are polishing like crazy still.

It looks so good Thomas! Will the game support 120hz on PC?Well, Windows 10 is what we're all using, but I don't see why Will of the Wisps wouldn't run even on Windows 7.

I'm still in amazement how much better the game looks than the original. The sense of scale in some of those earlier trailers is top notch.
Btw, with combat, it's not just about looks. This time around we hired Formosa to do all the sound effects for Ori. They worked on stuff like Mad Max, John Wick, Frozen, etc. and in games they were responsible for the SFX in God of War, Halo and the likes. It's super important that the sound effects overall are super satisfying, that contributes a lot to the whole experience of making combat and platforming feel super satisfying :)
