Two weeks ago, European Commission's subvention listing spoiled that Frozenbyte is developing a new Trine game. We didn't have to wait for an official confirmation too long, as the Finish developer announced Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince today. The fourth entry in the acclaimed Trine series will be released next year for all major platforms, including PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
Frozenbyte confirmed that Modus Games will help the independent studio publish the title. According to a special press release from Frozenbyte CEO Lauri Hyvärinen, Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince is "going to be the best in the series." He continues: "We have rekindled our love for the franchise, heard and seen the fan feedback, and our hearts are set on exceeding those expectations. Trine is back!"
We still have to wait for further details, but it sounds like Frozenbyte will try to re-discover what made the first two games successful and won't repeat Trine 3's mistakes, as 2015's platformer tried to do too many things at the same time and developing the threequel for the first time in full 3D was a big mistake, at least according to the majority of players.
