The teams responsible for the recent physical releases<\/a> of Ori and the Blind Forest<\/a> and Ori and the Will of the Wisps<\/a> on Switch \u2013 iam8bit, Skybound Games, and developer Moon Studios \u2013 have all come together to support Rainforest Trust.<\/p>\n

iam8bit has announced that it will be donating $25,000 to “aid in the conservation of the most threatened tropical forests and saving endangered wildlife.” But gaming fans can get involved, too, as 5% of all Nintendo Switch and iam8bit sales this week will go directly to support Rainforest Trust\u2019s efforts. Here’s how it works:<\/p>\n

\n

Between December 8-13, iam8bit will automatically process donations on behalf of fans, regardless of region. Fans can participate in three ways:<\/p>\n

– Download Ori and the Will of the Wisps<\/em> from the Nintendo eShop
<\/a>– Purchase Ori and the Will of the Wisps<\/em> physical edition from any retailer globally, including Amazon (worldwide), Game (UK), Best Buy, GameStop and hundreds of others.
– Purchase the Ori<\/em> Collector\u2019s Edition directly from iam8bit.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

iam8bit co-owners Jon M. Gibson and Amanda White explain why they’ve decided to do some good with their marketing budget:<\/p>\n

\n

“iam8bit\u2019s very first game as a publisher is Ori and the Will of the Wisps on Nintendo Switch. As a publisher, we considered how best to spend the game’s marketing budget, and decided to shake things up to try and make a positive difference with that money.<\/p>\n

“As we\u2019ve worked with Moon Studios to publish the Ori<\/em> series on Nintendo Switch, we\u2019ve been struck by their dedication to expressing nature as a living, breathing entity worthy of protection. Following their lead, we wanted to do our part to preserve nature, and are excited to work with the wonderful and dedicated people at Rainforest Trust to do just that.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
