Supergiant Games x iam8bit are proud to present a project we’ve been talking about for years - something so brazenly epic that we waited for the studio’s 10th Anniversary to unleash it. Bastion, Transistor and Pyre are wholly unique visions, yet they share a common thread - the music that carries you through each world. Carefully composed by Darren Korb, the scores to these three games have achieved notoriety well outside the indie gaming world to become some of the most beloved game soundtracks ever made. This gorgeous, all-encompassing (and rather hefty) vinyl box set celebrates that mastery across a whopping 12 discs, featuring seven discs of core music from each game and five discs of NEVER-BEFORE-RELEASED bonus material (Transistor Extended, Pyre: White Lute and Pyre: Black Mandolin), and another bonus 7” from the beloved Hades. Indeed, a Supergiant collection for Superserious fans.

Supergiant: The 10th Anniversary Collection will begin shipping Q1 2020.

Supergiant Games will continue the 10 year anniversary celebration on Saturday, August 31 at PAX West 2019 in Seattle with a panel and concert. The panel, titled "From Bastion to Hades: 10 Years of Supergiant Games," will feature members of the team who’ve been through it all as they reflect on a decade of creating games together as a small independent studio. The concert later that evening will feature a live performance with songs from Bastion, Transistor, Pyre, and Hades by Darren Korb, Ashley Barrett, and the Supergiant Orchestra conducted by Austin Wintory.

PAX West 2019 Activities

"From Bastion to Hades: 10 Years of Supergiant Games" Panel
Saturday, August 31, 12 p.m.-1 p.m. @ Raven Theatre

In 2009, a small team hunkered down in the living room of a house to make a game called Bastion. When it didn’t fail miserably, the team moved out of the house, grew a bit, and proceeded to create Transistor, Pyre, and Hades. These have sold more than 10 million copies on more than 10 different platforms, each success making the next one possible. Join members of the team who’ve been through it all as they reflect on a decade of creating games together as a small independent studio.
