The challenging uphill platform game Celeste was one of the indie standouts of 2018. It received multiple awards and the creator Matt Thorson followed this by announcing farewell levels for the title would arrive early on in 2019. Now that the new year is underway, Thorson has posted yet another tweet about this DLC.
On behalf of the team at Matt Makes Games, Thorson explained how this new content would not make the game's 25th January anniversary, but when it did eventually arrive it would be free for all platforms. It will also be slightly more streamlined - with no strawberries to collect or B-Side level variations - and appears after the hardest levels.

In the main game, strawberries were an optional extra to collect in levels, with the ability to change the outcome of the ending. B-Side levels were alternate versions of the game's original levels. Currently, there's no exact release date for this DLC, so until then, we'll just have to hold out for a more official announcement.
Tell us if you've played Celeste on Switch and if you're looking forward to the DLC.

> After the current hardest levels in difficulty
Uh oh
Hoping this makes into the Physical Release from Limited Run!!! Can’t Wait!!!!
Really looking forward to this. Sounds like it'll be a fun challenge.
More content for this gem is always welcome, and its free!
Picked up Celeste on my switch about a week ago, great game. Awesome developer to provide free DLC, what a champ! Makes a great thing truly awesome!
I loved this game and to see new content being produced for it puts a song in my heart.
Great game but my 41 year old reflexes mean I shall never attempt this bonus content even if could unlock it,which I never will. I got stuck on the Mr Oshiro boss chase which wasn't even really that hard but I kept messing up right at the end so quit for the sake of my sanity. I plan to go back to it again soon though, probably from the beginning.
@OorWullie
Same here, but that's why they have ways to make game easier. Slowed down to 70-80%, the game was perfect for me.
@MotionMan I would like normal physical release not some limited run ripoff
I absolutely love this game and finished both main story and B sides but did not get all the strawberries. I didn't know it had a change in the end...
@Kraljstribor whats so ripoffish about it?? Its already up for pre order and its open pre orders so everyone can get a copy.
Cool on all ends. No strawberries (especially no golden ones) gives me less things to worry about and more time to just focus on enjoying the levels. It's gonna be free and it's gonna be hard. Can't ask for a better farewell/excuse to jump back in.
@DockEllisD agreed! has it ever gone on sale?
I don't even own this and I'm already kinda scared
Bless free DLC!
BRING IT ON! I'm ready for the challenge!
I really hope this new chapter does not include the stupid golden feather, which IMO ruined some of the chapters in the game.
