After reading our post a couple days ago about Frozenbyte announcing a partnership with Atlus and announcing a new game at E3, you may have been left wondering just what that game was. Was it a new IP, an XBLA version of Trine, or perhaps a sequel to the original? Well if you guessed the latter then you’d be right as Atlus has revealed that Trine 2 will be shown off next at next week’s E3 convention in Los Angeles, of whch we’ll have the most extensive indie coverage you’re likely to find.

For those who haven’t played the original, I strongly suggest that you do. It is easily one of the best PSN games on the PS3 hardware, as well as one of the best indie PC games available.

The story follows three unlikely heroes: a selfish wizard, a greedy thief, and a clumsy warrior as they attempt to figure out what went wrong with the world and why they seem to be inextricably cursed by a magical device named the Trine.

Read my own review of the game.

The sequel will probably be picking up from where the first one left off, although the manner in which they do it will be interesting. Trine’s ending, without spoiling anything, didn’t really leave much to create a new game off of. Still though, with Frozenbyte’s incredible knack for creating a beautiful story, I’m sure they’ll be able to do it again for the game’s sequel.

We’ll have more information and, hopefully, a hands on experience of the game at E3 next week. Stay tuned!
