Pyre, the latest game from the team behind Bastion and Transistor, now has a release date. It launches on July 25 for PlayStation 4 and PC for $19.99. However, pre-ordering nets you a 10 percent discount.
A party-based RPG, Pyre asks you to lead a team of exiles across mystical land called the Downside. Combat is 3v3 and consists of gladiatorial competitions called Rites where the objective is to extinguish your opponent's flame. In the single player, there is no Game Over and the story adapts when you lose.
Additionally, Pyre has a two-player head-to-head multiplayer mode that was revealed last December at PSX.

Our Take
Pyre oozes with Supergiant's distinctive art style and music. It also has some fresh ideas in how it handles its story and battle system, so keep an eye out this July. It could end up being the indie sleeper hit of the summer.
