In celebration of Celeste’s 6th anniversary, fans were treated to a nostalgic treat with the release of “Celeste 64: Fragments of the Mountain”. Unveiled as a surprise on the official social media account, this indie gem invites players to relive the magic of Mount Celeste alongside the beloved character Madeline. Made in just a week, this 3D platformer pays homage to the Nintendo 64 generation and the early era of 3D platforming. This isn’t Celeste’s first venture into reinventing gameplay. Previously, the developers transformed the title into a semi-sequel to Pico-8, a virtual machine that emulates 8-bit computer systems. The latest offering, “Celeste 64”, continues the trend of creative reinterpretations.
For those looking to experience the post-anniversary excitement, the game offers dialogue that takes place after the events of the original Celeste, providing a continuation of the story. While the excitement is palpable, there is a slight catch – “Celeste 64: Fragments of the Mountain” is currently exclusive to PC. However, the upside is that it’s available as a free download on itch.io, allowing fans to immerse themselves in the nostalgic world of Celeste at no cost.
