Indie developer SuperGiantGames has just announced over their Twitter account (@SupergiantGames) that Bastion will be released on Xbox Live Arcade on July 20th, for 1200 MSP. It will be the first title in this year’s Summer of Arcade promotion, along with From Dust and Toy Soldiers: Cold War, to name a few of my most eagerly awaited games in that program.
SuperGiantGames has garnered quite a reputation after securing a publishing deal with Warner Bros Interactive shortly before this year’s E3. Bastion had a small booth at the show but attracted a lot of attention regardless, with its mix of Diablo gameplay with a beautiful and colorful pastel painting.
The developer was formed early last year by ex EALA devs Amir Rao, Gavin Simon and Darren Korb, who were later joined by former 2K producer Greg Kasavin, programmer Andrew Wang, artist Jenn Zee and Logan Cunningham, who provides the voice for Bastion’s storyteller and narrator.
