[Update]: Trine 5 has now added crossplay between all the different versions.

A fair few years have gone by since the last Trine game, so if you're currently itching for some more co-op focused puzzle-platformer action I'm happy to say I bring good news. According to a recent developer update, Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy will be making its way onto PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Switch in a mere couple of weeks, on August 31st!

In terms of improvements, Trine 5 will come with a brand new combat system and much trickier boss fights, the ability to level up and customize each character's abilities, as well as an adaptive difficulty system for both the combat and the puzzles. How exactly that last part will work, I'm afraid I don't currently know. I can only hope it'll give us the option to crank up the difficulty in order to really highlight what makes Trine so special - the utter madness that comes from three people desperately trying to solve a single problem in three different ways at the same time!

It's also worth mentioning that Trine 5 will be the biggest game in the series. As such, you can expect to see more levels, battles and puzzles than ever before, and hopefully a greater degree of polish as well.

What Trine 5 looks like in action, as well as how cutesy the visuals are, that you can check out through the most recent trailer focused around Pontius the knight. Have a gander:

Once Trine 5 arrives on August 31st I'll make sure to let you know. Until then, you can read a few more tidbits about it, as well as keep track of any developer updates, over at Steam. Enjoy!
