TRINE: BLUE WIZARD IS ABOUT TO DRAW

Frozenbyte, the Finnish studio behind Steam’s top-down sci-fi action game Shadowgrounds, are making good on their new original IP strategy with the announcement of the forthcoming Trine for PlayStation Network and PC.

The short teaser above goes a long way in selling the game, giving away one of its most intriguing gameplay aspects: a drawing mode looking nothing if not like Crayon Physics brought to fantastic life, placing platforms and boxes into its fully physics-based world, and hot-swappable characters which each have their own specialty to advance you further into its levels.

The studio says the game should appear in the second quarter of 2009.
