Earthblade adventure metroidvania has been postponed indefinitely

Extremely OK Gaes, a studio you may know from projects like TowerFall and Celeste, announced Earthblade, a side-scrolling art platformer that was supposed to be released this year, back in 2021, but in a recent update, studio founder Maddy Thorson said that the game would not be ready this year and there was no new release window.

Here's What We Know

"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."

In addition, Extremely OK Games has brought on board indie gaming veteran Kyle Pulver, who will inject fresh energy into Earthblade's development amid Thorson's personal challenges, including her gender transition.

"What pushed us to recruit Kyle was the realization that I had become the bottleneck. I’ve struggled to keep up with my workload and provide a strong direction for the team, while navigating all of the challenges of my personal life, including my gender transition. Transition involves a lot of change, uncertainty and doubt, and it’s easy to see how that has bled into Earthblade.".

Where To Play

Earthblade will be available on PC upon release.
