Extremely OK Games, the developers behind the acclaimed Celeste, have decided to cancel their follow-up game Earthblade. The development team cited the immense pressure and high expectations following the success of Celeste as a major factor influencing their decision.
Vero’s thoughts on the news:
This cancellation highlights the challenging dynamics in the game development industry, where the immense success of a project can paradoxically place unrealistic expectations on future works. Maintaining creative freedom while meeting public expectations requires a delicate balance, and sometimes, the best decision for long-term sustainability and innovation is to step back from an overwhelming project.
