We at Frozenbyte love fan art of Trine 2 and we’ve noticed the huge amount of it on the Miiverse. So, we want to up the ante by introducing the Trine 2 Miiverse Drawing Contest! Trine 2 is a very atmospheric and picturesque game, which we noticed has inspired a lot of people on Miiverse. It’s incredible how much people can create with a simple stylus, touch screen and black and white colors. So we decided to give all of you talented people a chance to win some awesome prizes with your awesome drawings! We will organizing this a few […]
The Frozenbyte website has undergone a slight visual remake and we are happy to have the new site live and breathing! 🙂 The old site was feeling a bit outdated, so we started working on a more sleek and simplified look. Also, we wanted the new site to be mobile device friendly. The old website: The new site has been in the works since early this year and was made to be as dynamic as possible, which makes it very easy for us to update the website and create new content, like this blog post you’re reading! With the old […]
We here at Frozenbyte value the well being of our fans, employees and surroundings in general. In the video above we talk a little about how our company works with environmental issues and on what topics we should work on more. Recycling is key, but also changing our methods into “digital only” is important to reduce our ecological foot print. Of course we still support retail copies for people who want to collect things like art books, but overall we like to see the industry turning to a download centered model. On top of this we touch upon the topic […]
After some delays, the Wii U update for Trine 2 is finally out for all regions. Yesterday, the game also got released in Australia and New Zealand, with a 25% launch discount. Sorry for the delay but we hope you enjoy it! 🙂 You can expect more frequent video updates like this in the future. It’s something we’ve been working on lately. – Mikael
We’d like to apologize to everyone who’s been waiting for the EU/US update and the release in Australia and New Zealand. At first the promise for release was mid-December and then early January, but neither of those happened. Long story short, we have been stuck in the submission process and are now once again waiting for approval, although next week is looking promising. Sorry for all the trouble. – Mikael
We got our Wii U consoles set up at the office last Friday, and since then we’ve been browsing the Miiverse. One of the most useful things seems to be posting screenshots from a part in the game where you have gotten stuck and then asking for help from the community. This seems to work well with Trine 2 since it’s a puzzle game where users can clearly see the issue from a give pic. Other than that the Miiverse seems to be spouting up a lot of talented artists, even to the extent that the Trine 2 community now […]
So, last friday we threw a party at the Frozenbyte office to celebrate the Trine 2: Director’s Cut launch for the Wii U in Europe. Lots of people were attending, and we all had a great time. The new mushroom books will be something we’ll be giving as gifts from now on along with the Splot toys. So follow us on Twitter and Facebook for more competitions, and don’t forget to say hi to us in Miiverse, if you’ve already bought the Wii U 🙂 -Mikael
The new launch trailer for Trine 2: Directors’s Cut! This Sunday was a huge day for videogames. Nintendo launched their newest console with brand new innovative controls and a much improved online shop. For Frozenbyte this marks a brand new accomplishment by being able to be a part of such a big event, with front row seats none the less. We don’t have a U.S. version of the console yet and we will likely have to wait until the end of the month to get our hands on the Miiverse, but we are very excited to get to connect with […]

Few weeks back we got some teasers about an upcoming cosplay feat of epic proportions. Zoya was about to come to life and with a lot effort put into the smallest of details. We caught up with Jina D (@JinaDModel) at the PAX Prime in Seattle and this is what she had to say. – Could you tell us a bit about yourself and what you do? Well, I was born and raised in the Seattle, Washington area. I went to college in Hawai’i and then lived in Australia for two years after I graduated. I got into modeling and […]
