Ori & The Bonsai Spirit Trees
Ori and the Will of the Wisps is nearly here!!
Finally, it seems like forever since we first teared up playing Ori and the Blind Forest and to celebrate the release once again Xbox ANZ has something special.
I love Bonsai but have never had one, partially due to the whole black thumb that I have.
For you to have the chance to get your hands on one, be sure to check out the release below and head on over to the Xbox ANZ facebook page for your chance.
Each Bonsai also represents a donation to Greening Australia, A local not for profit restoring and conserving our native vegetation.
Ori is releasing March 11th on Xbox and Steam as well as other retailers.
Be sure to let us know if you're enjoying it.

Bring
the magic and mystery of Ori’s forest into your home for the game’s next
instalment.
Xbox ANZ is giving gamers
the chance to bring the enchanting magic and mystery of Ori universe to their
living rooms with the creation of 20 limited-edition real Bonsai ‘Spirit’ Trees
- in celebration of the emotional second instalment of the beloved franchise, Ori
and the Will of the Wisps.
Fans can now take the immersive experience of
Ori to a new level by holding the source of all energy, the Spirit
Tree, close to them while they discover Ori’s true destiny in an all new vast
and exotic world. These decade old, real Bonsai trees have been designed to
resemble the Spirit Tree, from the glowing ethereal lights in the delicate
branches, to the moss-covered ground where the handcrafted mini Ori figurine
stands. The Bonsais will emulate the energy of the ‘Spirit Trees’, helping
guide fans through the game from the comfort of their living rooms.
Australian Ori fans can get their hands on
one of the twenty unique Spirit Trees by visiting the Xbox ANZ
Facebook page. Each Bonsai created will also represent a donation
of trees to Greening
Australia, a local non-profit
working to protect, restore and conserve Australia's native vegetation.
The art of Bonsai creation is
a beautiful and delicate process with roots stretching back over a
thousand years – a blend of horticultural ingenuity and Japanese aesthetic
designed to evoke reflection and balance in the viewer. Caring for a Bonsai is
known to evoke a sense of peace, harmony and balance, the
perfect addition to the fans experience as they join Ori
for his journey through strikingly beautiful environments and a story
driven adventure with a stunning soundtrack.
“It is no secret that Xbox fans are
passionate about the enchanting universe of Ori, so we wanted to celebrate the
launch of Ori and the Will of the Wisps by bringing the Spirit
Tree right into Australian living rooms. We hope these Bonsai Trees, reflecting
the beauty of the Ori universe, will inspire our fans gameplay experience
for many years to come” said Dan Johnson, Xbox Lead for ANZ.
