Celeste developers have cancelled their new game

In 2021, Extremely OK Games, notable developers behind the indie hit Celeste, announced that they were working on a new project, Earthblade. The team set a launch window of 2023, then pushed it back to 2024, further delaying the game to sometime after 2024. However, in a blog post, lead designer Maddy Thorson announced that there will be no more delays, as they have decided to cancel the game entirely. One of the reasons behind Earthblade's troubled cycle came from internal disagreements over who held the IP rights to Celeste, with Extremely OK Games' art director leaving the company as a result. This led to the team looking back at the slow progress they'd made, and decide to end development. While Earthblade won't come to be, the remaining team has decided to work on smaller projects for now,

I didn't know about this game until I had seen it was cancelled from some article I saw on my phone. It sucks tho because I love celeste(if you couldn't tell lol), and I'm sure this game would have been fun. Also thanks for reminding me I should probably finish farewell...

At least we got a cool piece of lost media to find in the future

Anyways yeah I’m probably one of the few here that genuinely liked Celeste. The difficulty, soundtrack and level style made it enough for me to say it was solid

Was interested to see what this game would provide, but . . I guess not

If you enjoy super niche indie games that most people don't like, may I recommend Stardew Valley? :rofl2:

what a shame, I really loved celeste, loved the themes of not giving up on hope.
