Extremely OK Games, the studio behind acclaimed platformer Celeste, has unveiled its next project, Earthblade – what it calls a “2D explor-action game in a seamless pixel art world” – via some mood-setting teaser art and a musical snippet.
“Think of this as a vibe reveal,” explains Extremely OK’s Maddy Thorson in Earthblade’s announcement post. “We didn’t want to reveal much about the game or its story yet, but we think that this well 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’ve opted to save it all up for a big reveal that will hopefully blow your socks off.”
