Earthblade is an upcoming Metroidvania platform video game by Extremely OK Games.

Gameplay

[edit]

Earthblade is a two-dimensional exploration-action platform game. The player controls the character Névoa, who has recently returned to a ruined Earth, as they explore the world, dash between platforms, climb terrain, and fight enemies. It is drawn in a pixel art style.[2][3]

Development

[edit]

Extremely OK Games first announced Earthblade in April 2021[4] and had begun playtesting by April of the next year.[5] The developer Maddy Thorson shared the first footage of Earthblade at The Game Awards 2022. Earthblade's genre and art style are similar to the studio's previous game, Celeste (2018).[3] It does not have a planned release date, but it's expected to be released after 2024.[1]
