Supergiant Games announces party-based RPG, Pyre

Supergiant Games, the developer behind the indie hits Bastion and Transistor, have announced and released a trailer for their upcoming third title, Pyre.

Pyre is a party-based RPG, wherein you lead a band of exiles through an ancient competition in a mystical purgatory.

“Pyre once again showcases our team‘s commitment to rich atmospheric presentation and storytelling, along with a distinctive gameplay blend that combines expressive decision-making on the world map with fast, action-packed confrontations against rival groups of exiles whose own freedom is at stake. We want to create a large cast of characters you can grow close to as you travel together across a strange and wondrous land.” the company said.

While some story details and gameplay video are out there, what’s most surprising is that not only is the game in a playable state already, but it will be on the show floor at PAX East in Boston later this week, where we will attempt to get hands-on.

Pyre is scheduled for a 2017 release on PS4 and Steam.
