Dear Reader:
Celeste's "Farewell" DLC due out Sept. 9th, 2019, physical release heading into production
I can't believe it, but my own detective work turned out to be true. Just yesterday, I speculated that Celeste's "Farewell" DLC would release sometime on/around Sept. 10th, and that is indeed the case. The DLC has been confirmed for Sept. 9th, 2019, and you can read full details on it below. There's also a blurb about the upcoming physical release of Celeste, which is now moving into production.
Saying goodbye is never easy. Finding the right way to send off the characters and world of Celeste was especially difficult for us, but we're very excited about what this chapter became. Here's some details:
Chapter 9: Farewell is a new story chapter for Celeste, releasing 9/9/2019 for free on all platforms*.
It contains 100+ new levels, bringing the game's total to over 800!
Over 40 minutes of new music from Lena Raine. (Purchase the soundtrack on Bandcamp!)
There's several brand new mechanics and items to discover and play with.
Reconnect with beloved characters for a final goodbye.
This chapter doesn't have a B- or C-Side.
To unlock it, simply complete Chapter 8.
Also, we want to mention the Limited Run physical Celeste release. We know that people have been waiting for that to ship for a long time. Now that Chapter 9 is finished, it will enter production shortly. Thanks so much for your patience.
