Sounds like no difficulty levels?
No solid confirmation yet, but seems like it.

Would be very strange omission since Ori 1 & 2 had simple difficulty options (and we know enemy health & damage scale up for co-op). Will definitely be one of my consistent points of feedback if they take a large step backwards for accessibility.

Sad Gareth Coker isn't attached to this. His music was one of the best parts of the Ori games. Will probably check out when it's out of early access.

For people concerned whether Mahler & Korol remain toxic: Good to critically think about the dilemma of ethical consumption, not good to tunnel-down on a 2022 article and swear off a studio of 90+ other people for the toxicity of its 2 directors.

FWIW, Mahler still seems like a pretty shitty person with "anti-cancel culture personality".

I had absolutely no idea this was going to have multiplayer!
Yep! PvP will be the 1st content update and, by the sounds of it, it's going to be fairly ambitious with 4-player co-op (that can be fully asynchronous), between-realm trading, and an Arena with various PvP modes and dedicated Arena rewards.

Devs have also hinted:
- Invasions (like Dark Souls, but fully opt-in; i.e., just playing co-op is not considered opting-in).
- Certain Arena modes taking inspiration from party games where there's more emphasis on navigating the space and avoiding environmental hazards.

This question probably doesn't generally apply for everything but typically how long does something stay in early access?

Hope it supports my Steam Deck day 1, will buy it no matter what. The Ori games are some of my all time favorites!

Game looks spectacular but I've never really been one for EA. It reminds me of playing WoW betas where I experienced a ton of the first zone in an expac and when I play it on live servers at launch I feel like I've already done this in a worst state and it kind of ruins my experience.

Early access, eh. Are we months, or years away from release?

I'm not usually into early access launches but I may have to check this it for the visuals alone.

If this game has some good buzz a couple days in I could see myself buying into EA while it's discounted. I really dig the art style and I don't mind being patient while they build the game to completion. In particular I adore the stylized characters and bold texture work.
