News: If you have been waiting for the next iteration in the Trine franchise you can get a sneak peek into how development is going right now.

A new video has been released for the upcoming Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince. It is currently slated to be on all platforms at some point during the holiday season in 2019. Alongside new footage of Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince, Frozenbyte candidly reflects on development decisions they've made in their decade-long career and discusses how the studio has refocused itself, returning to its roots to bring fans the most robust Trine game to date.

Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince is set to launch this fall as the longest Trine game to date boasting significantly more gameplay than Trine 1 & 2. Alongside the series’ new installment, Modus will release Trine: Ultimate Collection, the best way to experience the entire Trine series for new and existing fans alike.

Packed with bonus content at retail, the bundle will include Trine Enchanted Edition, Trine 2: Complete Story, Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power, and Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince and will be available on PS4, Xbox One and PC both physically and digitally.

Featuring an all-new story that reunites Amadeus, Pontius, and Zoya, Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince returns to the magic of 2.5D with the puzzle-platforming gameplay that you saw in Trine 1 and 2. Play as the three iconic heroes in the most extensive Trine adventure yet, complete with new environments and dynamic, physics-based puzzles that fans have grown to know and love.

After years apart, the Astral Academy has requested help from the three heroes to find Prince Selius, whose intensely dark nightmares have begun to slip into reality and wreak havoc on the waking world. Encounter more epic boss fights than ever before, solve puzzles, unlock new skills, explore lush, vibrant landscapes, and experience a hauntingly beautiful new soundtrack by the composer of Trine 1-3. Additionally, and for the first time ever, Trine adds four-player co-op to its feature list.

Some of the key features you will find in Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince include:

Gorgeous, 2.5D landscapes - Explore uniquely designed levels in beautiful, 2.5 dimensions, from breathtaking ruins and haunted tombs to tranquil birch groves and blueberry forests.

Local and Online Multiplayer - Play with up to 4 players online or in local co-op.

Captivating Storytelling - Follow the story of a haunted prince as you journey through magical fairytale landscapes inhabited by friendly creatures, as well as a host of nightmarish foes.
