Frozenbyte is pleased to close the week by announcing that the launch of Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power in Steam Early Access has been a success, with the game already selling three times as much as the launch of Trine 2. The continued success of the series has prompted an earlier-than-expected celebratory content update featuring a new Challenge Level “A Brush with Death” for the Thief Zoya.
“Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power has sold over three times better than Trine 1 or Trine 2 did in their pre-order launches. From our over 8 million sold Trine games Steam has sold over 3 million copies and we are super-excited to see Steam once again exceed our expectations,” says Lauri Hyvärinen, CEO of Frozenbyte.
“People have been very positive overall about the Early Access and the sales have been great, so we decided to release a bit of new content already this weekend to celebrate this – an additional Challenge Level for the Thief called “A Brush with Death”! Along with the update are of course a lot of optimizations, tweaks and fixes,” says Kai Tuovinen, Marketing Manager.
