“We’ve been looking to get our feet wet in the digital publishing space for some time, but we wanted our first title to be of the highest quality, both from a gameplay and artistic perspective. We’re thrilled to partner with Moon Studios and Xbox Game Studios to publish Ori and the Will of the Wisps digitally; it has been the opportunity of a lifetime,” said Jon M. Gibson and Amanda White, co-owners of iam8bit. “The Ori series is truly a masterpiece of artistry in games and we’re overjoyed that we can help players get their hands on it: both literally, through the physical and collector’s editions, and now metaphorically on digital as well.”
