Trine 2 confirmed for PC/PSN/XBLA

By Tom Bramwell Published 19 October, 2010

Due out next spring.

Finnish developer Frozenbyte has announced that the sequel to its platform puzzle game Trine is due out next year.

Unlike the original, Trine 2 will be released for PC, PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade. Frozenbyte has said to expect it in spring.

The original game saw players take control of three characters - a thief, a knight and a wizard - each with their own special abilities that came in handy solving puzzles.

The sequel promises online and offline co-operative play and "new gameplay features and improvements", obviously.

"For example, the Wizard's levitated objects will retain their kinetic energy, so they can be hurled towards enemies, making the Wizard a lot more adept at combat, and the Thief gets a new time slow ability which will be very useful in certain puzzles," the devs explained.

Also, according to the announcement trailer, there are 500 per cent more rainbows and a greedy frog. Get stuck in.

Check out our review of the original Trine to find out why it's worth keeping an eye on.

    Yay for online co-op play, this game was obviously crying out for it before, and would have sold an awful lot more if they had sorted it out.

    Looking forward to this now. :)

    \o/ The first one is so good, the first game I bought when I finally got round to buying a PS3, nice to see it's coming to 360 as well.

    The sequel to 2009's best Australian railway simulator (and 2009's best tagline).

    Excellent, the first one was good fun. I hope they sort out the camera this time for the local multiplayer though. Maybe give the player a few camera options?

    Also the game was very glitchy in some parts when I tried to get some of the later trophies. Was pretty gutted when I completed it on the hardest difficulty for example and nothing happened.

    Excellent; I adore the first game and really look forward to this. I only wish more full releases had the style and character of Trine. What an underrated gem.

    Sweet Jesus and all that is good in this world, I wish this was a full retail release game! I only play offline but this game is beautiful. I would pay $30-40 for this game as long as it was at least 4 hours long. I am totally bummed for myself, but happy to see these kinds of games coming out.
