'Survival-climber' Cairn is delayed into 2026, but the demo on Steam is getting a cool new feature in October

Cairn made quite a splash when it debuted at the Summer Game Fest in 2024: PC Gamer's Mollie Taylor said that despite her distaste for "verticality," the reveal trailer left her with an immediate urge to grab a carabiner and go climbing. She's going to have to wait a bit to embark on that particular adventure, though, as developer The Game Bakers announced today that instead of arriving on November 5 as planned, Cairn needs a little more time in the oven and will show up in early 2026 instead.

The game is "content complete," The Game Bakers clarified, but developers want to take a few extra weeks "to focus on optimization, debug, and polish."
