Gone Home is coming to Xbox One & PS4 on January 12!
Hi all!
Been a while, but we’ve got some exciting news today: Gone Home is finally coming to consoles– and in just a month! I recorded a very special message about it.. check it out below!
I think the above video pretty much says it all– but let me just say how excited we are to put the game in front of a whole new audience of players. Ever since Gone Home came out we’ve wanted to be able to bring it to people who maybe aren’t PC gamers, or don’t have a good enough computer, or who just want to play in their living room, maybe to share the experience with a friend or loved one from the comfort of their couch. Our goal wasn’t to add or change things, but just to bring the game that players know & love onto consoles in the best possible form we could. We’re really excited for you all to get your hands on it!
Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power announced for PlayStation 4
Finnish game developer Frozenbyte is pleased to announce that Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power has been officially announced for the PlayStation 4. Exact release date and pricing details for the PS4™ version will be announced later but the game is expected to release by the end of 2015.
"We're happy to confirm the PS4 version of Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power. It's been a rollercoaster of a year but closing it with the PS4 release gives me great satisfaction," said Frozenbyte CEO Lauri Hyvärinen.
The PS4 version is the latest version of the game and includes the recently-released "The Quest for Cake" level. The game features local co-op and runs at Full HD 1080p 60 fps, and has support for Stereoscopic 3D.
About Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power
Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power is a 3D platforming game set in a beautiful fantasy world of vivid colors, and is also a mixture of puzzles, adventure and action. You're playing with three distinct characters, a Wizard specialised in conjuring boxes and levitation, a stout-hearted Knight with powerful fighting abilities, and an elusive Thief, great at fighting from afar with her bow and at overcoming obstacles with her grappling hook. Each character will help you in different ways on your puzzle- and action-packed journey.
The story starts off with the Heroes growing tired of their duties. They try to return their extraordinary gifts to the Artifact called Trine, and so they meddle with powers beyond their understanding: Trine shatters and a heartless ancient sorcerer escapes. With only a broken artifact to guide them, the heroes must try and repair the damage they've caused... or the damage that might yet be done.

Agatsuma Entertainment has just announced its dissolution. Due to financial difficulties, the developer and publisher will be immediately closing its doors.
Originally opened in 1997, Agatsuma Entertainment primarily focused on titles for Nintendo handhelds. Its first game was Poke-Inu: Pocket Dogs for the Game Boy Advance in 2004, which was released outside of Japan as Pocket Dogs. It was responsible for bringing 5th Cell’s original Drawn to Life to Japan. One of its most notable releases was Code of Princess for the Nintendo 3DS, a side-scrolling action game picked up by Atlus. However, it also released a number of games for other systems. It brought NyxQuest to the Japanese Nintendo Wii and Sayonara Umihara Kawase + to the PlayStation Vita.
Most recently, Agatsuma Entertainment has been working on bringing Umihara Kawase games to a larger audience. It brought Sayonara Umihara Kawase to Windows PCs in October, followed by Umihara Kawase and Umihara Kawase Shun: Steam Edition in November.
Agatsuma Entertainment plans to completely liquidate all of its assets by March 31.
