To celebrate the game’s 3rd anniversary
Celesteis a glorious precision platformer, but it began life as aPICO-8prototype you could play in your browser. To celebrate the full game’s 3rd anniversary, its developers took three days to make a sequel to that original prototype.Celeste 2: Lani’s Trek can be played now over on Itch.io.It’s again a game about climbing a mountain, but this time you’ve got a grapple hook rather than an air dash. It still lets you move laterally and cling to vertical surfaces, but it’s a lot trickier to use it to climb.Celeste - Launch Trailer | PS4Watch on YouTubeNoel Berry, one of the game’s developers, saidon Twitter that it took 3 days to make, which sounds impressive to me, who will take 3 days to get past the game’s second level.Although Celeste started its life as a PICO-8 prototype, it doesn’t seem likely that this is a precursor to a fuller Celeste 2. Inspeaking to IGNback in 2019, Celeste designer Maddy Thorson said that they didn’t know “how we’d do a sequel justice. And besides, we’re way more interested in making something new for our next full release.“I’m happy with that. Celeste is wonderful, but so was TowerFall before that. I’m happy to see what its developers make next.You can play Celeste Classic 2in your browser on Itch.io, or download it. I missed the game when it came out earlier this week (because we were redesigning the site, hi), but spotted it just now because I looked at theItch.iohomepage - so here’s a reminder to do that every once in a while.
