\"Earthblade<\/p>\n

Celeste and Towerfall developer Extremely OK Games has announced its next game, Earthblade, has been delayed. The fantasy platformer was scheduled to launch sometime this year but has now been pushed to an undetermined window.<\/p>\n

Earthblade was first announced in April 2021<\/a> before getting its first trailer at The Game Awards in 2022<\/a>. The fantasy “explor-action” platformer stars N\u00e9voa, a child of fate who returns to uncover the mysteries of a fractured Earth. The game appears to be inspired by the Metroidvania subgenre, with the studio stating it features “seamless exploration, challenging combat, and countless mysteries to pick apart.” Outside of PC, Earthblade has no announced platforms. <\/p>\n

In a candid blog post<\/a>, Extremely OK Games\u2019 head Maddy Thorson opens by writing,<\/p>\n

\u201cI know, I know, this update is long overdue. We appreciate your patience as we try our best to make this video game that appears to be stubbornly determined to not get made. More on the process in the following paragraphs, but first we need to face the music: this game ain’t coming out in 2024. We had hoped to be announcing a firm release date around now, but it just isn’t in the cards. We know that this will be disappointing for a lot of you and we’re sorry for that. Maybe this was predictable, but still it always sucks when the haters are right.\u201d<\/p>\n
