Supergiant Games Reveal New Party-Based RPG, Pyre

Supergiant Games have revealed their latest game, a party-based RPG dubbed simply Pyre.

Releasing sometime next year across PlayStation 4 and PC, the game will launch simultaneously for both platforms, like their previous release, Transistor. Featured above, you can view the reveal trailer for the game.

Described as a “party-based RPG,” players will be tasked with leading a band of exiles through an ancient competition that spans a vast, magical purgatory of sorts.

Here’s the full rundown for the game, via Supergiant Games:


In Pyre, you lead a band of exiles through an ancient competition spread across a vast, 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 journey to the Downside is thought to be a one-way trip.

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 in store 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.


Pyre will be playable at PAX East this year, where we’ll be getting the first hands-on walkthrough for the game.
