I want to make jokes about Cairn's delay but truth is I'm very proud and relieved we are doing that. It's hard for us to delay. There's nothing more we want than to release the game. Also, money-wise, we don't have much buffer. But I would regret it all my life to spoil all these years of good work.

Cairn launching Q1 2026. Demo update out soon to make the wait a little easier

“You understand eventually why [Aava] does this… that’s also the big question that people ask mountaineers: ‘Why do you climb mountains where you do?’ ... And that’s what the story is about.” - Emeric Thanks TWIV for the great interview with our creative director @emericthoa.bsky.social!!!

Cairn is at Tokyo Game Show! Play the demo @ the @playstation.com booth! Since our team is so inspired by Japanese culture, it’s always a pleasure to go to Japan. Did you know Jiro Taniguchi’s manga, The Summit of the Gods, was a big inspo for Cairn?!

Pitons are your most precious resource in Cairn. You only have a few, so use em wisely!

We love @streamforacause.bsky.social! They connect worthy charities with talented streamers, and we couldn’t be happier to take part with Cairn!

"The Game Bakers have created something that feels genuinely new: a climbing simulator that prioritizes realistic body mechanics over convenience, and somehow makes the struggle feel rewarding rather than frustrating." - Thanks so much for the kind words!

At The Game Bakers we care about our planet. Since 2022, we have taken measures to reduce the impact of our studio and games on the environment. Today we’re announcing that we are joining the Playing for the Planet alliance. 🧵

If you want to reach the peak, you gotta learn to find good holds. Just be careful! Smooth walls will test your strength you and make you slip.

For Aava, alpinism is a solitary pursuit. But in Cairn’s latest trailer, Aava meets another climber on Mt. Kami! This Marco guy sure seems upbeat, even if he is interrupting the peace a bit. Who knows who else is waiting on the mountain?

Cairn was in @streamforacause.bsky.social! Hear more about Cairn and our other games, and how Stream for a Cause connects streamers and charities! youtu.be/9NIcDh9Z7B8?...
