If you are a fan of Celeste, we have excellent news to share with you: a new game has been released, and it’s free. Here’s everything you need to know about him.
Have you already had the opportunity to develop Celeste, a narrative platformer that had a huge impact on players? If not, stop everything and play it immediately. Jokes aside, it’s a good game that offers a touching story while offering exciting platforming stages. It’s an effective formula that can easily bring a sequel to life. In this context, a new title entitled Celeste has just seen the light of day. The icing on the cake is that you don’t have to reach into your wallet.
Celeste is back in a free game
Don’t jump to the ceiling yet. We are not dealing with a game of the same magnitude as the one that came out in 2018. Not even close. To put you in context, Celeste is celebrating its sixth anniversary. Before the anniversary, the studio behind the title warned us that it was preparing a surprise. However, he clarified that “ small but cool “. And there you have it, we finally know what he was up to and we can say it makes you smile. It’s time to return to Madeline’s side.
So we are faced with a new game of sorts called Celeste 64: Fragments of the Mountain. Currently it is only available on PC, more precisely on the Itchio platform. We’re told it took a week to put together and that it’s inspired by the Nintendo 64 era and more generally the beginnings of the 3D era. We can say that it is a beautiful homage and as far as we know, certain dialogues suggest that it is a direct continuation of the first work.
This isn’t the first time the minds behind Celeste have taken part in this exercise. This has already happened and was used on Pico-8 (a “fantasy console” for playing small games, among other things). It goes without saying that the result for Fragments of the Mountain is very convincing. It’s also a good way to help us wait for a possible big sequel. We have the right to have dreams, right? Anyway, we let you discover it all, and don’t forget, it’s free!
