Warner Bros. smart, partnering with Supergiant on Bastion

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has announced today that it has teamed up with indie developer Supergiant Games on the action role-playing title, Bastion.

Here’s why I’m saying it’s smart: after playing 20 minutes of the game, I’m convinced Bastion is something special. With lush visuals and an interactive story told by a narrator in real time as you play, it seemed like the best of brilliant games I love, yet something entirely all its own.

Bastion is slated for release this summer on Xbox Live Arcade, with a PC release slated for “later this year.” It’ll be playable at PAX East this weekend at the Warner Bros. booth, and I suggest you make your way over there. You’re going to want to be in the loop when everyone else is raving about it this summer.
