Trine 4 Gets A Release Date In This Gorgeous New Trailer

Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince will release on October 8, and we’ve got a new trailer to go alongside the announcement. The game is coming to Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC.

On the same day, Trine: Ultimate Collection will release, physically bundling all four games in the series. Trine 4 will retail for $29.99, while the Ultimate Collection will cost $49.99 on all systems.

The Ultimate Edition will include:

  • Trine Series Original Soundtrack (download code)
  • Trine 4 Digital Art Book (download code)
  • Collector’s Reversible Cover Sheet
  • Physical Trine 4 World Map

The physical edition of Trine 4 will also come with the world map.

The trailer above shows off the numerous additions made to the fourth game in the series, including new combat options, new skills to use, and the new four player mode. Previous Trine games cut you off at three players, and this is our first look at how this game will handle a fourth.

Trine 4 follows on from 2015’s divisive Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power, but is returning to the 2.5D gameplay style of the first two games in the series. Our impressions of the game so far have been positive.

Players will be able to get their hands on Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince in just under two months.

The XIII Remake Has Been Delayed Into 2020

The XIII remake, originally announced for a 2019 release back in April, has been delayed into next year.

The cult classic shooter was originally released for the PS2, Xbox, GameCube and PC in 2003, and the remake is set to update the game for a modern audience. It’s now coming to Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC in 2020.

François Coulon, Head of Production at publisher Microïds, announced in a press release that while they are “thrilled” with the work developer PlayMagic has put into the game, “additional development time is needed to reach the level of polish we’re aiming for.”

No specific time frame within 2020 has been set for the game’s release.

The original XIII was published by Ubisoft and developed by Ubisoft Paris and Southend Interactive. It cast players as Thirteen, an amnesiac enigma accused of assassinating the president, who must discover who is he is and untangle the wider conspiracy he’s caught up in. The concept art posted on the PlayStation Blog alongside the remake’s announcement suggests that the game will be receiving a dramatic visual overhaul. We’re yet to see any footage from the remake, so it’s unclear just how extensive a remake it will be.

While our original review of XIII (published all the way back in 2003) was less-than-glowing, arguing that “the total package isn’t one that will hold the interest of most first-person shooter players”, the game built up a fanbase after its release because of its ambitious narrative and stellar art design.

Decay of Logos, An Action-RPG With Breath Of The Wild Vibes, Is Out Later This Month

Decay of Logos, an ambitious RPG that reminds us of both Breath of the Wild and Princess Mononoke, is releasing towards the end of August.

The game is a story of revenge about a girl and her elk, who set out to find the truth and take down the culprits after the girl’s village is destroyed. Getting revenge will involve battling a lot of enemies, searching through numerous dungeons, and exploring a world influenced by high fantasy tales and European folklore.

The game has been in development since at least 2014, when game designer André Constantino built a prototype that would become fleshed out further when he joined with Amplify Creations in 2015. The creation process has been covered in an extensive DevLog on the game’s official site.

Decay of Logos is the first game from Amplify Creations, and because the company specialises in middleware, it was made mostly using in-house tech.

The developers don’t want the game, which will involve open-world exploration and combat that mixes swordplay with magic abilities (plus your elk, who can run in and headbutt enemies), to hold player’s hands too much, so expect to have to find your own way forward.

Decay of Logos will hit PS4 first on August 27, before coming to Switch on August 29. Xbox One and Steam players will have to wait until August 30. It’s being published by Rising Star Games.
