"It's a fascinating characterization - a huge departure from the often chipper indie game protagonist, and one clearly inspired by the hyper focus of extreme climbers." Thanks GamesRadar for digging deep into the determination of Aava!!!

Ghosts climbed into Cairn’s demo! Ascend the slopes alongside community, dev, and creator ghosts 👻 And if you’re looking for a further challenge, compete in our route contest for sweet Cairn Merch! Deets below! 👇

Health goes down when you’re hurt, but also when you exert yourself, like when you’re running or climbing. You’ll also lose health/stamina when you’re super hungry, thirsty, or cold, so be sure to rest up before climbing in Cairn!

Survival mountain climbing game Cairn has been delayed to 2026. gameinformer.com/2025/09/30/s...

Cairn is hiking to Paris Games Week! Join us Oct 30 - Nov 2 @ Paris Expo, porte de Versailles to play Cairn’s demo, and for a very special surprise… WE BUILT AN ACTUAL CLIMBING WALL!! Come try it out!🧗 Climbing wall in partnership with Climbing District.

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?!
