About the game
In Pyre, you lead a band of exiles through an ancient competition spread across a vast, mystical purgatory.
 
Pyre once again showcases our small 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 story so far
At the beginning of the game, your luck has almost run out when several masked wanderers find you and revive you from the brink. With your help, they seek to learn the truth about the Rites, a secretive competition through which the worthiest exiles can return home, absolved of their transgressions.
 
As you journey across the Downside in the wanderers’ custom blackwagon, you’ll meet a variety of characters of all shapes and sizes, and learn what’s at stake for each of them should they prevail in the Rites. Your actions will determine who returns to glory, and who remains in exile to the end of their days.
 
Availability
Pyre will be making its console debut on PS4 in 2017. We’ll have more details about the exact time closer to release.

Reminds me a bit too much of Transistor, which I didn't really like in comparison to Bastion. I hope the battles feel a bit faster.

Interesting that they're keeping it a PS4 console exclusive again (unless I'm fooled by 'Console Debut'). I loved Bastion but have yet to really play Transistor, but Pyre already looks incredible, and I have the utmost faith in Supergiant to deliver.

I am not holding my breath for the game, but I will definitely look into it more when it comes out.  I really enjoyed both Transistor and Bastion.

 

Do you mean that you're not holding your breath in the sense that you're worried about how it will turn out, or that you're not holding your breath in the sense that there is a lot more on your plate at the moment? It would seem that if you really enjoyed the previous games, you would be more excited about it.

Man, now that I re-read my post, it makes no sense lol.  I meant that I am not over the moon excited and counting down the days, but I am intrigued by the idea, and interested in getting it when it gets here.  I don't think that my body could handle being excited for something for that long.

Yep. I get you there. Further, with the number of times that video games let you down, it would leave a real case of virtual blue balls if the game actually stunk up the joint.

I'm looking forward to this game. Supergiant hasn't disappointed so far. I loved Bastion and Transistor. Transistor was one of my favorite games of 2014.

 

I'm just trying to get a sense of what the gameplay is. Jeff Gerstmann of Giant Bomb played a demo of it and talked about it on the Bombcast, and he said it's got kind of a sports-type gameplay to it. Like you're trying to get your pyre (or whatever it's called) into their goal, and there are RPG elements as far as different characters and how you build them. Seems really interesting.

 

Side note: Looks like I'm one of the few people who enjoyed Transistor more than Bastion....
