Developer Two Tiny Dice has announced a major free update is coming for roguelike deck-builder Pyrene, and it’s coming on June 7th.
On top of this, the team also confirmed that the Indie Asylum Collective-backed title will be 34% off in a Steam Daily Deal, so if you’ve never grabbed it, the time might well be now to do so.
This new update is described as follows: “The calm of the village of Pyrene is shattered by the arrival of Malo, a young boy rescued from the sunken city of Ys. His missing grandmother, the shapeshifting druid Dahud, seems to be at the heart of an ancient secret. This new chapter takes players on a journey to meet mythological figures such as Merzhin the sorcerer, Yuna the alchemist, and Ankoù, the personification of death in Breton folklore.”
