The original Trine released nearly a decade ago and was followed up by a pair of sequels in the years following. The series became known for its 2.5D format before switching to a more 3D like experience for the third game. There was a certainly a vocal group of fans that preferred the more classic take on the franchise. And developer Frozenbyte has decided to give them what they want with the new Trine game.
Trine 4 Story:
In Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince players will reunite with the games well-known heroes – Amadeus the Wizard, Zoya the Thief, and Pontius the Knight — in a completely new tale. The three heroes are tasked with retrieving the troubled young Prince Selius. The Prince suffers from “intensely dark dreams” that are starting to slip into reality and wreak havoc on the lands. “Amadeus, Pontius, and Zoya must find the afflicted prince and resolve the desperate situation before the world is engulfed by the Nightmare Prince’s shadows.”
