Earthblade, the next game from the developers of Celeste<\/em>, has been canceled. The fantasy-inspired game got its first trailer in late 2022<\/a>, and the game would have let you explore a \u201cfree-roaming, dynamically-loading map,\u201d Extremely OK Games\u2019 Maddy Thorson said at the time. But the team decided to cancel the game in December after a team conflict and because of the pressure of trying to follow up on Celeste<\/em>, Thorson says in a post detailing what happened<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The \u201cdisagreement\u201d was between Thorson and Noel Berry (Thorson refers to the two of them as \u201cus\u201d) and Pedro Medeiros over \u201cthe IP rights of Celeste<\/em>,\u201d Thorson says. \u201cWe eventually reached a resolution, but both parties also agreed in the end that we should go our separate ways,\u201d and Medeiros is currently working on a game called Neverway<\/em><\/a>. \u201cLosing Pedro wasn\u2019t the only factor in cancelling the game, but it did prompt us to take a serious look at whether fighting through to finish Earthblade<\/em> was the right path forward,\u201d Thorson says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
