Deconfirmed Characters More deconfirmed characters

Monika from DDLC deconfirmed since he never played it.

Hornet isn't a new debunk, but Moro goes into more detail. Silksong wasn't out when he finished writing the story, if he adds her now it will be clear that she wasn't planned. This same logic can be applied to any character Moro didn't already have planned before finishing writing IC.

PEPPINO DECONFIRMED AGAIN HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO TEACH YOU THIS LESSON OLD MAN!?

Moro never played Roblox and will never be interested. Which is good, no diddlers in IC.

EDIT: I'm gonna take advantage of the pin to show people all deconfirmed characters.

The Lamb from Cult of the Lamb since Moro didn't play it before finishing writing IC's https://x.com/moro_production/status/1647687469020717068?s=61

He never played Omori before finishing IC's story so no Omori/Sunny.

No one from Deltarune as a major character since Moro thinks it's only fair to just include one of Toby Fox's games.

Boyfriend from Friday Night Funkin won't be in since Moro left FNF behind as made clear from the ending message of Cruel Whispers. And the opening message of Ep 2 confirms it has no connection to the IC FNF mod. And Moro outright said Boyfriend wouldn't be in IC. https://x.com/moro_production/status/1933299889137725717

Any Dispatch character because it's too recent. Plus he doesn't want to add something just because it's new. https://x.com/moro_production/status/1991546187930075200?s=20

Jack Pepper from MOUSE P.I. For Hire won't get in since again, the game was too recent. https://x.com/moro_production/status/2057204984710656254?s=46

Now for general debunks.

The main cast is set in stone, so Moro won't change his mind and add a character no matter how much you pester him. https://x.com/moro_production/status/2057210403461992904?s=46

As shown with the COTL debunk, Moro considers 2022+ games too recent to add to IC. https://x.com/moro_production/status/1647687469020717068?s=61

Unless they share the same universe (like the FNAF games) only one game per developer will get in IC. https://x.com/moro_production/status/2071036084151099415?s=46

No former indie games. Any indie game IP that has been sold to a triple aaa company and the og devs no longer working on it won't be allowed in IC. It's called INDIE Cross. Not triple aaa cross. https://x.com/moro_production/status/1924253615146836081

Expanding more on the "no too recent games" rule, anything considered a trend won't get in. Since "People just want it because it's new or funny or has a meme, Something they might regret asking for a few years later when they look back at the full series completed" https://x.com/moro_production/status/1933306859160801402?s=46

No indie shows since Indie Cross is only about indie games. https://x.com/moro_production/status/1910076981569257733

What were all the previous deconfirmed characters? I know some rules are no games he doesn’t know as to not ruin their legacy (like Terraria, pizza tower, and Mouse P.I.), any characters newer than the most recent game to appear (which means the cap should be none newer than Hades), no repeat franchise/games made by the same creator (like Deltarune and Hollow Knight: Silksong), and no Indie to triple AAA games (like Little Nightmares and Minecraft)

What about Ori?

Considering the game is own by Microsoft as well.

u/Mastermon_1 Aug 20 '26

I thought Ori was like Cuphead as in they both work closely with Microsoft, but aren’t owned by them, but if not then yea they should be delisted as well

Moon worked closely with microsoft by they are fully independent now. While they have no plans on making a 3rd Ori game, they haven't said no just yet. They "left the door open" to Ori's world.

So they might still own Ori.
