Extremely OK Games, the studio behind acclaimed platformer Celeste, has unveiled its next project, Earthblade – what it calls a “2D action game explored in a world of pixel seamless art” – via art teasers. and a piece of music.

“Think of it as a revelation of vibration,” explains Maddy Thorson of Extremely OK in the Earthblade announcement post. “We didn’t want to reveal much more about the game or its story, but we think that establishes the world and the feeling of being in it.”

According to Thorson, while the studio has traditionally been quite open with its day-to-day work, “an air of mystery lends itself particularly well to this project, so we chose to save everything for a great revelation that we’ll hope he throws your socks off. “

Thorson notes that it took the studio four prototypes – and three years – to find Earthblade. “The EXOK1-3 prototypes taught us a lot,” explains Thorson, “but in the end we ventured far too far from our comfort zone to be realistically completed. It took a while, but we feel like we’re sitting on the right compromise … with Earthblade. “

“It is now our job to turn this ephemeral, pure mind-object into a real, imperfect, and human object,” Thorson concludes. “We will be here, heading slowly every day. We really hope that at the end of this, some of you will enjoy what we do.”
