There's no denying that Celeste is certainly an impeccably designed platformer judging by the amount of praise it has received since its original release at the start of 2018.

Since then there has been DLC promised in the form of Chapter 9 which has had a very long development cycle indeed, but then it is a fairly substantial piece of content akin to an expansion.

Check out what developer Extremely OK Games Ltd has to say below...

• 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.

Now that the update is wrapped up, the physical version of Celeste from Limited Run Games will be entering production.

As for Extremely OK Games, that name may sound foreign to you. Matt Makes Games is being retired, and the developer will be moving forward with the new identity. The company says, “The success of Celeste has allowed us to set up a lot of things that will make our work better, faster, easier, and more fun.”

Finally, Extremely OK Games has started work on its next name, code-named EXOK1. The developer says: “We’re excited to share more about it when the time is right. Right now we’re still in a very exploratory phase of development, sussing out what this thing wants to be.”

Are you still looking forward to this latest DLC for Celeste? Have you completed everything in the base game? Or are you still patiently waiting for the physical Limited Run Games release? (I know I am)
