Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power Levitates to PS4 As Early As Next Week

Brings couch co-op, a fantasy world, and stereoscopic 3D

Hold the phone, it looks like one more PlayStation 4 game could launch before Christmas, and we're not talking about Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair. EDF! EDF! EDF!

Kai Tuovinen from Frozenbyte revealed on the PlayStation Blog that Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power will be aiming for a PS4 release before Christmas, with the Finnish developer saying in the comments: "If all goes as planned, we should get it out in the next week or so." The series' threequel changes up the formula by becoming a 3D platformer instead of a 2D side-scroller, yet the franchise's Knight, Wizard, and Thief return.

Trine 3 will launch with seven story chapters, 11 puzzle-focused Lost Pages levels, couch co-op for up to three people, 1080p resolution, 60 frames-per-second framerate, and, strangely, stereoscopic 3D, which not many games seem to offer anymore.

Will you be picking up Trine 3 on the PS4? Conjure some boxes in the comments section below.

I will probably buy it at some point for the 3D (and the game ofcourse), I make too little use of my 3D tv and trine is one of the greatest games to play in 3D (I loved how Trine 2 looked).

I bought an HDTV just before 3d tv's became popular so when they started hitting the mainstream I couldn't justify buying another tv for thousands of dollars . I always have enjoyed 3d though . Finally about a year ago I picked up an LG 55" 4k 3dtv. Unfortunately the push for 3d was pretty much over . I really enjoy 3d blu ray movies on it . Such an amazing 3d experience compared to 1080p 3dtvs that I have watched . But the 3d games push was over too quickly as far as I am concerned . They didn't give people enough time to to invest in the tech in my opinion . I totally understand that it is not for everyone and was considered gimmicky by a lot of people just to try to get people to spend more money , but for someone , such as myself , that fully enjoys it I didn't consider it to be a gimmick at all . I am able to go back to my ps3 library and replay some of those games such as Uncharted 3 and Arkham City in 3d but I really wish that there was new content . I am fortunate enough to own both Sniper Elite 3 and Zombie Army Trilogy on my ps4 and I really like to play them in 3d mode . I probably will purchase Trine 2 and 3 for my ps4 . Not just for the 3d content , but it certainly is a big selling point for me .
