![]() ![]() ![]() “While making Celeste, we basically tweeted out whatever interesting-looking thing we were working on day-to-day, when we were in the mood for sharing,” Thorson said. We might also be waiting some time for more news about the game. Extremely OK Games has only officially listed a vague “20XX” release date, and the studio’s Maddy Thorson said in Monday’s announcement blog that “it sounds optimistic to say out loud that Earthblade could be released within 5 short years of Celeste.” (Celeste, if you were wondering, came out in January 2018.) “The truth is that we don’t know how long it will take, just that it will take as long as it takes (and that it will take a long time),” Thorson added. We might be waiting a while for the actual release of the game. The next release from the Celeste team, coming 20XX. You can see the poster and the game’s logo (designed by Pedro Medeiros) and hear the song (composed by Lena Raine) in a teaser video posted on Twitter.Ī 2D explor-action game in a seamless pixel art world. There aren’t many details about the game just yet, but Extremely OK Games billed Monday’s news as a “vibe reveal,” taking the wraps off the game’s title, a poster, and a song from the game. The developer of indie hits Celeste and Towerfall has unveiled its next game: Earthblade. Even if a vibe reveal has me feeling ancient. However, I do know that I’m fucking stoked for Earthblade, given that Celeste fucking owns. I don’t know! I don’t know about my place in this Universe. My balls hang lower, and the young ones’ slang evades me. I’m getting fucking old, nothing makes sense. What the fuck is a vibe reveal? I only ask because apparently that’s what the developer of Celeste has done for their next game, Earthblade. įor more on Maddy Thorson’s previous games, follow the links to check out our reviews for Celeste and TowerFall: Ascension. In the meantime, if you’re itching to play something new for the team, earlier this year it released a sequel of sorts to the classic version of Celeste that you can read about here. It’s disappointing that we seemingly won’t hear about the project for a good while, but it’s nice to have some confirmation as to what Extremely Ok Games has up its sleeve, if nothing else. TowerFall and Celeste rank among my favorite games of the last generation, so I’m excited to see what Earthblade entails. The truth is that we don’t know how long it will take, just that it will take as long as it takes (and that it will take a long time).” The press release lists the release window as “20XX,” and Thorson admits that it’ll be a while before we get any more information about the project following this reveal, saying in the post, “Now it sounds optimistic to say out loud that Earthblade could be released within 5 short years of Celeste.

Thorson states that Earthblade was conceived after developing four prototypes and that it serves as a philosophical middle-ground between doing something totally new and something familiar. The poster shows a figure holding a weapon (perhaps the titular Earthblade?) overlooking a cliff with a cottage below and towers in the background. To that end, the team has released the game’s official logo, a concept art poster hinting towards a presumably fantasy setting, and even a musical sample by Celeste composer Lena Raine, which you can listen to on Soundcloud here. But I can see the general shape of it, and I feel really good about where it’s going.” Not perfectly, mind you - most of the details are still pretty blurry in my mental image, and I’m sure a lot will change along the way. Thorson explains in the blog post, “I can see the whole thing in my head. What is Earthblade? The studio describes it as a “2D explor-action” game with a pixel-art aesthetic, but don’t expect to play it anytime soon.Ī blog post by Extremely OK Games founder Maddy Thorson describes the announcement as more of a “vibe reveal” to give players a stylistic sense of the game as opposed to detailing story and gameplay, elements that seem to still be taking shape.
