Bastion Bulletin, April 2011

Posted by Greg on April 28, 2011

This has been a crucial month for us at Supergiant Games: After a big push by everyone on team, we locked down all the game’s content last week. That means we’re just about finished with development. The Xbox 360 version of Bastion is nearly ready!
