Pyre launches this July

Supergiant Games have announced that their next game, Pyre, will launch on July 25, 2017.

Pyre is a party-based RPG in which you lead a band of exiles to freedom through ancient competitions spread across a vast, mystical purgatory. You’ll get to know an ensemble cast of characters struggling to earn back their freedom as you make your way across the forsaken land called the Downside.

Central to Pyre is the ancient competition called the Rites. Each Rite plays out like a close-quarters mystical battle, where the object is to extinguish your adversary’s signal flame before they can do the same to you. Choose three exiles from your party for each Rite, and outfit them with powerful Talismans and Masteries to gain an edge.

Pyre also features a local two-player Versus Mode. Versus Mode lets you play against a friend (or CPU opponent) in one a fast-paced ritual showdowns. You’ll be able to form your triumvirate from more than 20 unique characters you’ll meet in the campaign, and customize your Rite in a variety of ways — configuring your characters’ abilities, choosing from the variety of stages each with their own distinct effects on gameplay, and more.

Pyre will be released on PlayStation 4 and PC.
