Trine 2: Complete Story - Valve

Get access to the multiplayer beta when you pre-order Trine 2 on Steam!

The sequel to the award action fantasy title, Trine 2 takes the first game's beloved triad--the powerful knight, the swift rogue, and the crafty wizard--and puts them into an all-new adventure filled with more action, more puzzles, and the introduction of online support for the series's popular cooperative 3-person gameplay.

The Luscious Art of Trine 2

Trine Enchanted Edition

Normally here on Fine Art, we showcase the fruits of video game artists working on titles that are already out. That's not the case today.

Instead, we're getting a look at the art of an upcoming title, and a beautiful one to boot: that of Trine 2, sequel to the wonderful 2009 co-op platformer Trine.

These images, some of the rough sketches and some of them large, detailed environment pieces, were done by Frozenbyte's concept artist Juhani Jokinen.

Currently in development at Frozenbyte, Trine 2 is due out next month on PC, Mac, PS3 and 360.

You can check out more of Jokinen's work at his personal site, linked below.

The Humble Frozenbyte Bundle is go

Trine Enchanted Edition

The latest humble bundle lets you pay what you want for a fantastic bundle of Frozenbyte games, including gorgeous co-op platformer, Trine, top down shooters Shadowgrounds, Shadowgrounds: Survivors and two brand new games, Splot and Jack Claw. Jack Claw is an unfinished prototype, but it looks great, and you'll get access to the full source code as well. You play as a man called Jack who has a giant claw that can throw cars. Splot isn't out yet, but if you buy it in the bundle you'll get a copy as soon as it's released.

All of the proceeds from your payment are split between the developers, Child's Play and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. As with all of the humble bundles so far, you can customise what proportions of your payments go to each organisation. You'll get the games DRM free, too. The bundle is set to run from now until April 26.
