Pyre Coming to Windows; Gameplay Video

The Pyre reveal last month only mentioned a PlayStation 4 version of Supergiant's upcoming action/RPG, but they are discussing a Windows edition of the game at PAX East, and sure enough this post from a couple of days ago mentions a simultaneous Steam release (a Steam listing for the game is now online, though this is basically a stub at this time). That post includes a reveal trailer, and now Polygon has a 20-minute video from PAX East showing the game in action, and there are previews on a bunch of sites including GameSpot, IGN, and Kotaku. Here's an overview:

From the team that created Bastion and Transistor, Pyre is a party-based RPG in which you lead a band of exiles to freedom through an ancient competition spread across a vast, mystical purgatory. Follow the stars as they guide you toward a series of celestial landmarks, then guide your fellow exiles to glory through action-packed, tactical confrontations against adversaries whose own freedom is at stake.

Out of the Blue

I'm really looking forward to tonight's season premiere of Game of Thrones. Apparently there are many who are, but you wouldn't know it from my circle, as I don't know of a single friend or family member besides me who watches the show. And my friends who read the books are the most adamant about not watching, as they basically hate it. So spring is here, and winter is coming, but I have no one to discuss the show with. On the bright side, I don't have to worry about spoiling anything for anyone. Hodor!
