Celeste Team Releases Free Nintendo 64-Style Sequel

Acclaimed indie platformer Celeste has received a surprise follow-up today, marking the sixth anniversary of the original game’s release. Celeste 64: Fragments of the Mountain is a Nintendo 64-inspired 3D platformer that lets you explore Celeste Mountain in a new way, and can be downloaded now for free.

The game was released through Itch.io by the original Celeste team, and is available for both Windows and Linux PCs, with the devs recommending connecting a controller for this one. Celeste 64 can also be played on the Steam Deck by downloading the Windows version of the game and enabling Proton Experimental.

“Relive the magic of Celeste Mountain alongside Madeline in this small, heartfelt 3D platformer,” the description reads, noting that Celeste 64 was made in just a week to mark the anniversary.

The mini Celeste follow-up clearly takes inspiration from iconic 3D platformers of the Nintendo 64 era, and once again tasks players with collecting strawberries as they traverse the mountain. The game seems to draw especially from Super Mario 64, to the point where one player has already modded a version of Celeste 64 that has Madeline wearing Mario’s cap.
