Pyre multiplayer details

Supergiant Games have announced details about the multiplayer modes in Pyre, their upcoming RPG.

Pyre is a party-based RPG that will have a two-player head-to-head Versus Mode in it, in addition to the single-player campaign. The ritual competitions in Pyre play out like a one-on-one competitive action game. The object is to extinguish your opponent’s ceremonial flame, by grasping an object called the Celestial Orb then diving into the flames with it, or simply throwing it in.

You have at your disposal three different exiles, though just one is permitted to move at any given time. You can slip past your opponents by sprinting or leaping over them. You also have a defensive aura that banishes your foes on contact, or can be cast like a projectile attack. Each of the different characters has his or her own unique attributes and special abilities. Which characters you bring into the field, along with the variety of unique environments.

Versus Mode pits you and your opponent against each other on the same PS4 in local head-to-head competition. As for online play, the developers haven’t made a decision yet on whether online play makes sense.

Versus Mode single-player against the computer will be supported.

Pyre is planned launch sometime in 2017 on PlayStation 4 and PC.
