Great looking Trine coming to PSN and PC
French developer Nobilis and the Finnish Frozenbyte team have announced the rather excellent looking fantasy game, Trine, for PC and PSN coming out next year.
“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,” says the official release.

Trine is set for a “Q2 2009″ release.

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!

The Trine, you say? Oh dear, that’s going to cause problems if it’s ever released in France.

No, just Trine, and considering the devs are French it’s a safe bet the French will get it.

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

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.

Gekidami, I think being 8% French, I’d know what Trine means in French.

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?

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?
