“Trine is a fantasy action game where the player can create and use physics-based objects to beat hazardous puzzles and threatening enemies.

Nobilis and Frozenbyte announce Trine on the PlayStation® Network and PC.
Lyon, France, the 5th of December 2008 – Immediate release. Nobilis and Frozenbyte are proud to announce that the fantasy action game “Trine™” (PlayStation® Network and PC) will be released in Q2 2009.
Trine™ is a fantasy action game where the player can create and use physics-based objects to beat hazardous puzzles and threatening enemies. Set in a world of great castles and strange machinery, three heroes are bound to a mysterious device called the Trine in a quest to save the kingdom from evil…
The gameplay is based on fully interactive physics – each character’s different ability helps the player battle an army of un-dead and defeat hazardous contraptions. The player can at any time freely choose whoever is best suited for the upcoming challenge or puzzle: The Wizard is able to summon objects to help solve puzzles and create new ways to overcome obstacles, the Thief uses her agility and dead-on accuracy to swiftly surprise the monsters, and the Warrior unleashes mayhem and physical destruction wherever he goes.
“This is the first game we publish on the PlayStation® Network and we are thrilled to work with Frozenbyte on this very exciting game project!” declares Arnaud Blacher, CEO of Nobilis Group.
“Trine™ is a true testament to Frozenbyte’s new strategy focusing on original IP. We can’t wait to have the game released on the PlayStation® Network and PC,” said Lauri Hyvarinen, CEO of Frozenbyte, and he continued: “Nobilis has been a great partner to us all these years and we look forward to combining our efforts even more closely to make a great game!”

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to grab the HD version of that teaser, from the game’s site.
There’s a lot I like about it, but I’ll mention specifically, the characters, lighting and setting. Looks really good!

Esha said:
The Trine, you say? Oh dear, that’s going to cause problems if it’s ever released in France.
morriss said:
No, just Trine, and considering the devs are French it’s a safe bet the French will get it.
Esha said:
“a mysterious device called the Trine”
/point
I was referring to that.
And … good grief, it was intentional?!
morriss said:
La Trine!
Esha said:
Bad, bad French developers. Bad!
Well, alright, not really. It made me laugh.
Gamoc said:
Right, go on, what does trine mean?
Esha said:
No further comments, y’honour.

Trine is a girls name in Denmark, although it’s not pronounced how most of you are most likely pronounced.

Hahha, yeah Trine means mature dogshit in French
Esha said:
Also: Thingy made of three parts.
But I’m never going to be able to say this game’s name with a straight face.
/sigh @self

…No it dosnt… @ mature dogshit.
Wiz said:
Just to be exact, Frozenbyte was an independent Finnish developer when I last checked. But Nobilis I’m unfamiliar with.
The game looks pretty simple, but neat.
morriss said:
Yep. When you’re right, you’re right. *updates*
No_PUDding said:
Gekidami, I think being 8% French, I’d know what Trine means in French.
Gekidami said:
Trine has exactly the same meaning in french then it does in English, neither is old dogs stuff. And how can you be 8% of something? Where parts of you imported?
XDamage said:
It’s a girl name in Norway.
Gekidami said:
Really? Is she pretty?
XDamage said:
According to the statistics, there are 10000 girls named Trine here, so I’m sure quite a few of them are, yes.

That looks really nice! But… Nobilis. Surely that means it’ll never actually come out?
