The studio behind indie darling Celeste, the Vancouver-based Extremely OK Games, is finally ready to unveil its next game, Earthblade
While the devs admit their blog post is more of a āvibe revealā than a full-on announcement, thereās a lot to be excited for here, due in part to the studioās pedigree. Earthblade is described as a ā2D explor-action game in a seamless pixel art worldā with music from the inimitable Lena Raine, who in my humble opinion composed one of gamingās greatest soundtracks for Celeste. You can listen to a snippet of her work on Earthblade below.
āIt took us four prototypes to find Earthblade, and itās now been over three years since Celesteās initial release,ā Extremely OK Games director Maddy Thorson wrote about developing the upcoming game. ā[The] prototypes taught us a lot, but ultimately we ventured way too far from our comfort zone for them to realistically ever get finished. It took a while, but we feel like weāve settled on the right compromise between the two with Earthblade.ā
Extremely OK Games is planning to release Earthblade sometime between now and the end of the 21st century. Stay tuned for more.
