Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince, the latest instalment in developer Frozenbyte’s enjoyable co-operative puzzle-platform series, finally has a release date; it’ll be heading to PC, Switch, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 on 8th October.
Trine 4 reunites the series’ regular crew of adventurers – that’s the wizard Amadeus, Pontius the knight, and Zoya the thief – as they embark on a quest to find Prince Selius, “whose intensely dark nightmares have begun to slip into reality and wreak havoc on the waking world”.
What follows is a bout of physics-based platform-puzzling that returns to the series’ 2.5D roots, rather than reprising Trine 3’s foray into full 3D. Frozenbyte also promises new skills to unlock, a “completely revamped” combat system, new enemies and bosses, and, for the first time in the series, four-player co-op, available both locally and online.

Additionally, 8th October will see the arrival of Frozenbyte’s Trine: The Ultimate Collection on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. This, as you might well imagine, bundles together all four games in the series – Trine Enchanted Edition, Trine 2: Complete Story, Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power, and Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince – and is available in both physical and digital forms.
