Hailed as "a perfect sequel" by Eurogamer Italy, Trine 2 presents gamers with a fantasy world full of more vibrant color and immersive liveliness than any title in recent memory. As either the powerful Knight, agile Thief, or crafty Wizard, players will set out on a quest to save the world from a mysterious magic that has brought plants to destructive, havoc-wreaking life. Through a series of beautifully rendered stages, each highly animated and bursting with color, adventurers will solve brain-teasing puzzles and defeat a variety of foes as they seek the source of their world's calamity. Trine 2's greatest new addition is that of online support for its defining 3-player cooperative play, which allows three friends--in the same room or across the world--to team up through the entire single player campaign.

Bigger and better than its equally acclaimed predecessor, Trine 2 is a "delightfully open-ended sequel that shouldn't be missed by any puzzle fan" according to IGN.com, who scored the game 9.0 out of 10 and gave it its Editor's Choice Award.

Trine 2 is now available worldwide for PlayStation 3 system, Xbox 360 system, PC and Mac. To learn more, visit the official website: http://www.trine2.com.
