We’re so grateful for Sophia Eleni’s standout performance. Aava isn’t an easy character to love, and Sophia portrayed the obsessive, closed off and thorny climber brilliantly, making her feel achingly relatable and deeply human. No small feat, like climbing Kami!

Our Creative Director @emericthoa.bsky.social sat down with TechRadar for a hands on look at On The Trail! "It’s immediately clear, though, that these DLC environments are even more experimental than what we saw in the main game." We sure hope so 😉 www.techradar.com/gaming/cairn...

'It’s still a game that makes your hands sweat' — The Game Bakers take me on a tour of Cairn: On The Trail

I went hands-on with the Cairn: On the Trail DLC at Gamescom and spoke to its designers about what new and returning players can look forward to in the climbing adventure's new stages.

I know I'm pretty late to the party on finishing it, but Cairn by @thegamebakers.com is going to be in serious consideration for my Game of the Year. Absolutely superb story which could not be told in a non interactive medium with the same impact.

The top of a mountain reaches up toward the stars, covered in snow. A tiny human figure can be seen trecking across it.

On the Trail is coming, save your energy! You won’t need to survive in the new areas like you did on Mt. Kami. Instead, keep track of your energy! Risky moves and falls will be especially draining, be careful! If you run out of energy, you’ll start over!

"It felt like the moment I turned 30, all my friends got really into climbing. Pretty perfect timing then that Cairn came out when it did. We scored it 91% in our review, which is high praise indeed." - @pcgamer.com Cairn is 20% off, you too can get into climbing! 😂 www.pcgamer.com/games/sim/ca...

Cairn's delayed On the Trail: Deep Water DLC gets a new release date, and you don't have long to wait

Cairn’s free DLC On the Trail brings you a deep water solo experience! These new areas are even more challenging, but climbing over water does have its advantages! Not dying when you fall is #1, even if you still start back at the bottom.

Best delivery to arrive home to. The music for this game was just one of the truly incredible things about it. Once again well done for what is still my GOTY @thegamebakers.com!

Climb as Marco in On the Trail! His climbing style is a bit more challenging than Aava’s. He’s not as tall and flexible as her, but he makes up for it with strong arms and by shifting his body to reach further holds. Giving him the range of motion he needs to make it to the top!

The Game Bakers @thegamebakers.com · 31/08/2026

Cairn aims to capture the fantasy of climbing! Exploring a vast mountain, charting your course up its crags, and the exhilaration of topping out for an unforgettable view! Balance that heightened fantasy with our irl mountaineering experience to bring you a Peak climb!

Marco is heading for the peak! He’s a talented young climber, but for him, its so much more about the journey, not the destination. On his latest climb, he runs into pro climber Aava who pushes him to climb higher! Follow his adventure in Cairn!

Don’t despair if you fall, it might not be the end of your climb! If the damage you take is only slightly more than your health, Aava might pass out instead of dying. You’ll become hungry and thirsty as she recovers, but at least you can keep climbing!
