Vancouver-based sport audio studio Energy Up Audio — which labored on Celeste in addition to Cadence of Hyrule, Into The Breach, and Tunic, amongst many different indie titans — retweeted the teaser, saying “It’s soooooo cool”. So it may very well be an audio undertaking, however for the time being, we all know little else.

Extraordinarily OK Video games and Maddy Makes Video games’ indie smash hit launched to important acclaim in 2018 for the way it seamlessly blended narrative and mechanical themes to create a rewarding, difficult, and accessible expertise. The sport later bought some free DLC within the type of Celeste, Farewell in 2019, which featured a particularly lengthy, difficult last stage to tie up the entire sport’s themes. It is sensible. As is the bottom sport.

The subsequent sport from Extraordinarily OK Video games is Earthblade, a 2D motion journey sport that appears completely gorgeous. It is coming to Steam in 2024. And whereas it hasn’t been confirmed for Swap, we count on we’ll see it on the console — or the successor — sooner or later.
