Trine 2, the sequel to one of the best platformers of this generation, is coming later this year to the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.
Today we received new details on the PC/Mac launch, which will include a retail release in Europe. The game is set to hit in Q4 (still quite vague). I got a chance to play the game at e3 as well and it’s looking to be a worthy successor to the original.
Check out this new gameplay trailer:
