Trine (2009) - How Long to Beat, Player Count, Cast and Crew

About

Trine came out on July 3, 2009 for PC, then for PlayStation 3 on September 17, 2009 and for Mac on November 2, 2010. On Steam, 95% of 12,866 player reviews are positive (Overwhelmingly Positive). 12 people are playing it on Steam right now, with a peak of 86 in the last 30 days. It is Playable on Steam Deck. The main story takes about 4 hours, doing everything about 10 hours.

Trine is a physics-based action game where three characters allow clever solutions to challenges created by hazardous puzzles and threatening enemies. The gameplay is based on fully interactive physics – each character's different abilities and tactics can be used to invent new ways to overcome obstacles and save the kingdom.

Story

Trine takes place in a forsaken and ruined kingdom. After enjoying a period of great peace, the king died without leaving an heir, plunging the kingdom into political instability. Taking advantage of the chaos, an undead army suddenly appeared and attacked, forcing the inhabitants to abandon the realm, save for those few souls brave enough to face the perils that had now befallen it.

What is happening now

Trine is a cooperative platformer-puzzle adventure that originally launched in 2009, blending action with environmental problem-solving across multiple platforms. The series has since expanded with several sequels. The upcoming sixth installment, Trine 6: Together in Time, has been pushed to March 2027 after an initially planned late 2024 release. Developers Cooldown Games and Frozenbyte made the decision following private playtesting feedback, citing the need for additional work on a new classic puzzle mode alongside refinements to character abilities and other systems. The delay marks a significant shift from the originally announced timeline, though the extended development window suggests the studios are prioritizing polish over rushing to market.
