Give it a name already, Frozenbyte, so I don't have to refer to it as 'expansion' or 'DLC'. I'm going for the former because it reminds me of the good old days, as do Frozenbyte themselves. Why am I posting about this gain so soon, having already written about the new areas, new plotline and new abilities? Because there's a short video showing some environments…
Even before Trine 2 launched, Frozenbyte had plans to work on DLC, saying toward the end of last year that the additional content would be about four hours in length. A few details were revealed to some non-PC folk at GDC, including word of a new story that will take place over six stages, which will have puzzles based around light, water, low gravity and…
Expect plenty more of these kinds of updates leading up to next week's web-wide SOPA protests: it's an enormously important issue for the future of the internet and everyone who uses it, so we're giving it our all. Also declaring themselves strongly against the online culture-trashing folly today are Minecraft-makers Mojang, who intend to make a right old song and dance about SOPA next week,…
Listen, I know you are a busy person, so I'll just leave this link here. It's the Steam page for Trine 2. There's a demo on there. It works on PC and Mac. It's about as pretty as that pretty girl from your halcyon schooldays, you know, the one carved out of pretty, with nice hair. It really is that pretty. Read more about the…
Cos Frozenbyte's proper-lovely tri-person puzzle-platformer finally has a concrete release date, after a few months of to-ing and fro-ing in beta. And it's tomorrow! Oh dear, has this become one of those announcement of an announcement posts? People get cross about those, you know. No, I think it's OK - as it's pretty unusual form to announce the release date of your game two days…

FrozenByte's ethereally-lit follow-up to their Lost Vikings-esque puzzle-platformer has been sitting temptingly on my hard drive for several weeks now, but my Skyrim habit has kept me from until today. I was still feeling a little raw after the freneticism of Serious Sam 3 and an unfortunate chilli-burn incident that temporarily cost me the use of my hands, but Trine 2's main menu alone is…
I was operating under the belief that everything was beautiful in Trine 2's world, whether the rushes growing by a crystal clear pool or the giant mushrooms with a candle's light casting a glow from their interior. And then they went and showed me a bloody spider. It's a right horrible one as well, with segmented legs thicker than a bemuscled torso. Thankfully, the other…
No matter how many words are rattling around in my head like angry wasps, footage of Trine 2 tends to soothe me to the extent that only synonyms for 'pretty' exist, along with the bare essentials to string those synonyms into sentences. It's a bonny game, which makes something as simple as a box falling apart seem like the culmination of a particularly gentle and…
Is it morning for you too? I'm sorry. This incessant plague of mornings that has been affecting the Earth since the Great Schizm is wearing us all down. But this might help. It's the new sort-of-trailer for Trine 2, that's a bit like a week of afternoons off on a tropical island in the moonlight. All those things. It can only help.
This looks a bit lovely. Frozenbyte have joined in on the "Let's put out a new video for Gamescom" party, and have got a lush new trailer with a first proper look at their Trine sequel, which is hopefully due some time next month. Have a good old gaze at this:
It's been a while since we posted any Trine 2 footage, so I think I shall do so now. The co-op indie delight from last two years ago (I wish I had any perception of the passing of time) had us all cooing around collective monitors. And the sequel looks astonishingly lush, with what appears to be some big improvements from the version shown in…

Trine, the comforting bedtime story of a game, is back with its side-scrolling, co-operative physics manipulations. They're calling it Trine 2. I know! But that's okay, because it looks just as lovely as the original, and that original was never quite long enough. This second piece in-game footage shows off some of the co-op game that you can play with, y'know, friends. If they're interested.…
Yay, a lovely way to bring the week to a close, too. Frozenbyte have released a teaser-trailer for their multi-character puzzle platformer sequel, Trine 2, and it is magnificent in its storybook cuteness. Also, it looks as if the team are being even more ambitious and inventive with the formula than ever before. Exciting!
This is a pleasant way to start the week, via Blue: having a sequel for a charming and playable game confirmed for our humming box of tricks. In a reveal thread on the Frozenbyte forums Joel Kinnunen responds "Yes. And before anyone asks, it will come to PC in addition to any other platforms. That's all we can say right now." And I suppose what…
