Ori And The Will Of The Wisps Xbox One Collector’s Edition Revealed

Microsoft has revealed that Ori and the Will of the Wisps will have a Collector’s edition for the Xbox One version when it launches on February 11. The Will of the Wisps releases for PC the same day, but it won’t have a physical version.

The Collector’s edition includes a game disc, an art book, the Piano Collections soundtrack on CD, a golden feather Steelbook-brand case, and an MP3 download of the original soundtrack. The digital soundtrack’s download must be redeemed by February 11, 2021. Unfortunately, no price has been announced. We’ll keep an eye out for that and when pre-orders go live and update this article with the proper links.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps comes on a physical disc, but Microsoft says you will need up to 30 GB of storage–though this is subject to change. Will of the Wisps will feature 4K Ultra HD support on Xbox One X, in addition to HDR on both the Xbox One S and X.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps is also coming to Xbox Game Pass for console and PC on day one, so if you’re a subscriber, you won’t need to pay anything extra to enjoy the game. It hits both Xbox One and PC on February 11. For more information on Microsoft’s subscription service, check out our Xbox Game Pass guide.

Elder Scrolls Online Teases a New Expansion Set in Skyrim

The Elder Scrolls Online concludes its yearlong Season of the Dragon content and teases the next chapter in ZeniMax Online’s MMORPG adventure. And it’s going to be set in Skyrim.

During The Game Awards, Bethesda premiered a new cinematic trailer that concludes the Season of the Dragon content saga, a yearlong roadmap for Elder Scrolls Online that was tied to the release of the Elsweyr expansion. But we’re almost in a new year and that means there’s a new expansion coming.

The Game Awards teaser ends with the line, “Explore the Dark Heart of Skyrim,” and invites fans to a reveal event on January 16, 2020.

Skyrim is the location players explore in the Elder Scrolls 5, and that’s one of the most-beloved Elder Scrolls games in the series.
