Hell. Those sites are reporting a July 3 release date for Trine, which is
presumably in Europe, as SouthPeak Interactive announced today it has signed on
as
the
game's North American publisher, setting the game's release as the more
general "Summer 2009." Here's a bit of the game's description:
In Trineā¢,
players work together to create and use objects to solve challenging
physics-based puzzles and defeat dangerous enemies. Set in a kingdom on the
verge of chaos, a warrior, a wizard, and a thief are bound by a powerful
artifact known as "the Trine". Together, they must battle the forces of space,
energy, and motion to put an end to the reign of the dark sorcerer that rules
the kingdom.
Featuring three-player cooperative play, each character has specific talents to
invent new solutions to puzzles and original ways to defeat enemies. The Wizard
can use magic to create objects and new paths, the Thief can use her agility and
accuracy to quickly deal with enemies, and the Warrior unleashes pure
destruction everywhere he travels.
