Trine 2 delayed for PS3

If you were planning to grab Trine 2 for your PS3, you’ll have to wait a little longer.

Publisher Atlus and Developer Frozenbyte have announced that the release of Trine 2 for PlayStation 3 via PSN has been delayed.

“We sincerely apologize for the frustration this ongoing delay has caused our European fans, as it is a frustration we (ATLUS and Frozenbyte) also share. We assure the community that everything within our influence is being done to release Trine 2 for PAL PS3 system users as soon as possible, and we humbly ask for our fans’ continued patience and understanding.

In case you were wondering, South Africa falls under the PAL region for releases, and so this delay effects us Southern hemisphere dwellers too.

Trine 2 is available on most other major platforms, PC (Windows/MacOS), Xbox LIVE, and even the North American PSN. A version is also in the works for Linux gamers.

South African PC gamers can expect the physical boxed copy to hit shelves on 10 February 2012.

Trine 2 retail for Windows and MacOS PCs will come in the form of a mini collector’s edition of sorts, containing: the full game; its majestic soundtrack (by composer Ari Pulkkinen of Angry Birds and Outland Fame); a snazzy artbook featuring comments by the Frozenbyte developers; and also the first Trine game. The recommended retail price is R149.95.

Trine 2 is the sequel to indie hit, Trine, which was published and developed by Frozenbyte, and has seen nearly 1 million copies sold.

Trine 2 brings more of the high-fantasy, side-scrolling action-adventure, physics-based puzzle-solving hijinkery of its progenitor, but with added online multiplayer co-op spice (up to 3 players).
