While poking around for information from Frozenbyte, the developers of the beautiful game Trine, we learned a few things we had incorrect from our sources. First, we were excited about both online, and offline co-op with an arcade title. As we understood this was the case, it caught us by surprise when we learned the game was only going to feature Offline co-op at launch. It was mentioned that Online co-op may be patched after release, but they were unable to give us any more details.

Other websites have been reporting an Xbox LIVE Arcade release for Trine, though that can not be confirmed at this time. Someone may have had a slip of tongue at E3 revealing it, or heard something that was interpreted incorrectly, like we had with the online co-op. Unfortunately, we can't tell you for sure if there will be an Xbox LIVE Arcade release, but we can assure you the rumors had to originate somewhere.

Now for the good news. The Playstation 3 and PC versions of Trine will be available in July, which is just 2 weeks away! We still can't wait to get our mits on this one, and will let everyone know as soon as we learn more about any details regarding Trine.

I can't wait to play this game!!

What a bummer about the initial lack of co-op. Since I very rarely play local co-op, I'll probably give this game a pass until they decide to include online. Still seems like an awesome game though.

I am not sure why developers are continuing this trend of patching up later. By the time the patch is done the reviews (e.g., metacritic) and the hype are gone, so a lot of people won't notice the updates.

I know its no confirmation, but I know a couple of people who saw it at the atlus booth.Though it was running on the pc it was supposed to represent 360 version. At least I hope so.

Local co-op is pretty redundant to me as my brother moved out 10 years ago! I need online co-op to play with someone over 400 miles away!

It's always one or the other with devs (with the occasional exception).

Any programmers out there that could shed light on the difficulties associated with each type of co-op [Online and Couch]?

I'd have picked this up for PSN either way. Seems odd to throw in online after release though.
