Frozenbyte's
Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince will officially launch this fall both physically and digitally for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC for $29.99, the Finnish game developer proudly announced today. In the upcoming fourth entry in the
Trine saga, Amadeus the Wizard, Pontius the Knight, and Zoya the Thief will embark on a journey to retrieve the troubled young Prince Selius.
According to Frozenbyte, the game's titular hero "
suffers from intensely dark dreams and due to his magical talents, monstrous nightmares are able to slip into reality and wreak havoc on the waking world. Amadeus, Pontius, and Zoya must find the afflicted prince and resolve the desperate situation before the world is engulfed by the Nightmare Prince’s shadows." To save Selius, the player will explore uniquely designed levels in beautiful 2.5 dimensions alone or with up to two friends in co-op.
It sounds like Frozenbyte will try to re-discover what actually made the first two video games successful and won't repeat
Trine 3's mistakes, as 2015's platformer tried to do too many things, at least according to the majority of players. Be sure to take a closer look at the wonderful and dangerous world of
Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince in its strikingly beautiful official announcement trailer below:
