Celeste developers Extremely OK Games have announced their new game atThe Game Awardsthis evening, and it looks like they’ve gone in a new direction from their previous tough-as-nails platformer.Earthbladeis a high-fantasy exploration game that takes place in a ruined world with magic and monsters. It looks pretty cool, so check out the trailer below.
Story details are light too. All we know is that the game follows Névoa, a “child of Fate” returning to Earth, which is in a bit of a state. There are giant bugs, weird green ninja dudes, bouncing balls of mossy goop, and hooded knights with giant ghost swords. It barely looks like Earth, honestly, so I’m looking forward to finding out what happened. My money is on human ecological self-destruction or something equally as grim.
