Bastion PC to hit Australia August 17

20110808bastion

Warner Bros. Australia has confirmed Bastion’s local PC release date of August 17, one day behind other territories – although that’s probably a time zone thing, really, since we live in the future.

The critically-acclaimed action RPG (read: dungeon crawler) will go for $14.99, and kick off on Steam before hitting other local PS portal storefronts.

The PC version of the game has an overhauled control scheme but also supports control pads. It’s also available on Xbox Live Arcade.

UK account director Mark Ward has left Bastion before the start of a restructuring at the PR firm.

Ward, a well-liked face in the British trade, said his departure will help with the reorganization of the company contributed to over the last 13 years.

“Tough times call for tough choices and my departure will contribute towards the restructuring of a company that I’ve helped to build and grown to love over the past 13 years,” he said.
