Cairn's Launch Rescheduled to January 29, 2026

Experience the Thrill of Climbing for $30 on PlayStation 5 and Steam

For several months, we have eagerly awaited the release of the rock climbing adventure game, Cairn. Its demo has already garnered an impressive 99% positive feedback on Steam, capturing significant attention. In September, the developers, The Game Bakers, made the decision to delay the initial 2025 release to refine and enhance the game further. Today, a new trailer has been unveiled, revealing the updated launch date. Cairn is set to become available on January 29, 2026, for both Steam and PlayStation 5, priced at $30.

Renowned for delivering indie classics, The Game Bakers are known for their distinctive settings and compelling characters. Diving into the survival-climbing genre seems like an intriguing direction for the creators behind titles such as Haven and Furi. Cairn promises to convey the essence of scaling treacherous peaks while exploring the psychological motivations that drive individuals to face such daunting mental and physical trials. Additionally, for those seeking an extra dose of adrenaline, the game will feature a 'free solo' mode that allows players to climb without any safety harnesses, taking their dauntless spirit to new heights.
