"Simultaneously we are working on the upcoming expansion for Trine 2, which will come out on Wii U at the same time. It will provide an even more exhilarating adventure following the heroic trio of Amadeus, Pontius and Zoya – or as otherwise known, the Wizard, the Knight and the Thief. The expansion is our best work yet and absolutely stunning in every respect, and is going to be a fantastic experience on Wii U."

"The Hardcore Mode is our thanks to our most hardcore fans, and a throwback to the good old days," Frozenbyte CEO Lauri Hyvärinen says, and continues: "This is for the fans who thought the Tower of Sarek level in the first game was just right in its pre-patches state, for those who really want an extra challenge from the game. The Hardcore Mode adds a big value to replayability, especially in online and offline co-op, and really means you have to work together or face game over."

Trine 2 is available now on Steam for PC/Mac, the Mac App Store, Xbox LIVE Arcade for the Xbox 360, and the PlayStation Network for the PlayStation 3.

You may think you're a pretty big hat in the wizarding world, but have you got the wand to be a hardcore wizard? A new Trine 2 patch on Steam has added a 'Hardcore' mode for wizards, thieves and knights to prove their worth, with the option to disable sneaky levitating tricks too.
