The Game Bakers has announced On the Trail, a series of free downloadable content drops for its contemplative climbing game Cairn, with the first additions due this summer.
The headline addition is a playable Marco, confirmed as part of the On the Trail programme. The developer describes the releases as free expansions to the game rather than paid add‑ons, signalling continued post‑launch support without additional cost to owners.
Details beyond the inclusion of Marco are currently limited. The Game Bakers has outlined the project as a sequence of releases under the On the Trail banner, with more information promised closer to each drop.
Cairn earned attention for its quiet, slow‑paced approach to climbing and exploration, favouring atmospheric traversal and subtle puzzles over high‑octane action. The free DLC initiative will extend that experience for existing players and provide new ways to engage with the game world.
More on the announcement is available via Eurogamer's report: Eurogamer. The first On the Trail update is expected to arrive this summer and will be distributed at no extra charge to Cairn owners.
