Composer Lena Raine Releases Soundtrack for Cancelled Game Earthblade
The Celeste and Minecraft composer compiled music from the scrapped Extremely OK Games project into a concept album available on Bandcamp.
- Earthblade, a planned 2D exploration-action game by Extremely OK Games, was cancelled in January 2025 due to creative and development challenges.
- Lena Raine, known for her work on Celeste and Minecraft, created a nine-track concept album from the music she composed for the game before its cancellation.
- The album, titled 'Earthblade: Across the Bounds of Fate,' is arranged to reflect an emotional arc, inspired by older animation and film scores like NausicaƤ of the Valley of the Wind and Cowboy Bebop.
- Half of the proceeds from the album, available for $7 on Bandcamp, will go to the Trans Lifeline charity.
- Extremely OK Games cited internal pressures and a desire to focus on smaller-scale projects as reasons for Earthblade's cancellation.
