One of those modest and relaxing game series that refuses to die, fantasy co-op platformer Trine will be back this year Trine 5: The Clockwork ConspiracyDeveloper Frozenbyte and publisher THQ Nordic made the announcement on Wednesday.
The fifth game in the series will be released in the summer for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series X.
Once again, the game features Amadeus the Wizard, Zoya the Thief, and Pontius the Knight jumping, fighting, and scrambling their way through side-scrolling levels in time-honored fashion. It supports local and online co-op as well as solo play, and the difficulty of the puzzles will adjust to the number of players. There will be 20 levels, which I know because the press release told me so – even the fact that the promotion for the game tells you how many levels there will be is pleasantly nostalgic.
First Trine was released in 2009, and since then Finnish developer Frozenbyte has regularly released new games in the series every few years, mixing them with other original efforts.
