Trine PC hits retail this week
Even though it has been available on Steam for quite some time, if you want a boxed retail version of Trine, then SouthPeak Interactive has your back. Trine, the puzzling physics-based fantasy game, has shipped out to retail shelves in North America. Trine follows the adventure of three characters that must work together to solve physics-based puzzles and fend off enemies in a world full of spiffy landscapes and high adventure.
Bound by a powerful artifact known as “the Trine,” the knight Pontius, the thief Zoya and the wizard Amadeus must combine their skills in order to succeed. The player must decide when to use knight’s strength, thief’s agility or wizard’s magic to overcome the many obstacles and challenges found in the this fantasy world. The game allows up to three players to work together in cooperative mode on the same screen and each level has multiple solutions allowing for replayability.
Trine is available for Windows PC at a suggested retail price of $29.99 and is rated T for Teen by the ESRB.

TRINE on PlayStation Network in Sept., says Nobilis
Frozenbyte’s TRINE has been out for quite some time on the PC, but those waiting for the game to make its way to PlayStation Network will have to wait a bit longer. TRINE is a clever action game similar to the Lost Vikings where you control one of three characters at a time, use their specific skills to solve puzzles, and move on to the next challenge.
But PS3 owners are having a different challenge: trying to figure out just when this game will be released on PlayStation Network. On the official Frozenbyte boards, a nameless Frozenbyte employee is helpless to explain why the game keeps missing release dates and when the game will be released. The conversation inevitably devolves as he or she explains that the process is “out of their hands” and that they “don’t know” when it will be released.
Not satisfied with the responses from Frozenbyte, we took the liberty of contacting Nobilis for some information on this mystery.
According to a representative from Nobilis, the game’s publisher, the company is still waiting for approval from Sony.
“We’re still in the process approval with Sony,” said the rep. “The game should be available beginning of September.”
Both Nobilis and developer Frozenbyte have apparently been waiting a very long time for that approval. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, many of those consumer holding out for the game on PlayStation Network have given up and purchased the game via Steam - where it has been available for quite some time. We’ll let you know when the game gets approved and when you can expect to find it on PSN when we hear more.

SouthPeak to publish Trine
SouthPeak Interactive will publish Trine for PC in North America later this year, the company announced today. In Trine, players work together to create and use objects to solve physics-based puzzles and defeat dangerous enemies. Set in a kingdom on the verge of chaos, a warrior, a wizard, and a thief are bound by a powerful artifact known as “the Trine”. Together, they must battle the forces of space, energy, and motion to put an end to the reign of a dark sorcerer.
Featuring three-player cooperative play, each character has specific talents to invent new solutions to puzzles and original ways to defeat enemies. The Wizard can use magic to create objects and new paths, the Thief can use her agility and accuracy to quickly deal with enemies, and the Warrior unleashes pure destruction everywhere he travels. Sounds a lot like a little game called The Lost Vikings..
Trine will be available on PCs in summer 2009.
