Trine 3 : The Artifacts of Power Announcement Trailer

As in the previous two Trine games, players take control of three heroes with differing abilities in a colorful, fairy tale world. The wizard, the warrior, and the thief are all needed to navigate the game’s puzzles, either controlled by friends playing cooperatively or by one player swapping between them as necessary.

This time around the action and exploration appears to more fully embrace the notion of a three-dimensional world. Where past games stuck to primarily side-scrolling 2.5D, the Trine 3 trailer shows off some new perspectives, such as gliding through an open-air space from an over-the-shoulder perspective or a mad dash from hopping, chattering teeth in which the heroes run directly towards the camera.

There’s no release date more specific than 2015 mentioned, and the only confirmed platform is PC. Both previous Trine games were released for Windows first, with other PC and console platforms following later. Check the game’s official website for updates in the coming months.

Revenge of the Savage Planet spins Google Stadia trauma into comedy gold
Two astronauts frolic as bugs fly overhead in Revenge of the Savage Planet.

The gaming news cycle is so hectic these days that it’s easy to completely forget about a ridiculous industry saga. I was reminded of that while demoing Revenge of the Savage Planet, the latest game from Racoon Logic. When I sat down to try a demo of it ahead of The Game Awards last week, I was greeted by a satirical introduction as a corporate orientation video cheerfully explained that I was an employee on a dangerous mission. As it played, the developer showing me the demo made a crack about Google. I didn’t really understand why, so I laughed and moved on.

It wasn’t until a few minutes later that a long-forgotten thought came back to me. In 2019, Google acquired Typhoon Studios. They were folded into what was supposed to be Google’s first-party game studio, Stadia Games and Entertainment. Two years later, the entire project was shut down and Typhoon Games was spat back out. It formed Racoon Logic later that year, putting the team back to where it started as an indie team.

When you look at the best PlayStation 5 games, or even a list of the best video games of all time, odds are you will see at least one game from developer Naughty Dog. Our list of upcoming video games was already stacked prior to The Game Awards 2024, but the last announcement of the night added one more to the list that might beat out other heavy hitters like Ghost of Yotei and Wolverine. As this is coming from Naughty Dog, this is already one of our most anticipated upcoming PS5 game, but others might need more convincing. We took out a bounty on all the information there is on Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet and this is what we came up with.
