Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince Is Getting A Story-Driven DLC Campaign

Your first look at 'Melody of Mystery'

by Ryan Craddock Mon 16th Nov 2020

Modus Games and developer Frozenbyte have announced a new DLC campaign for Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince. It'll launch on Switch in spring 2021.

The DLC is called Melody of Mystery and sees the series’ star trio return to the Astral Academy to investigate an enchanted slumber which has enveloped the academy’s students. It's an all-new, story-driven, six-level adventure which will debut powerful skills, clever puzzles, and more.

With a suspicious and mistakenly freed spirit on the loose, Amadeus, Pontius, and Zoya’s encore journey will lead them through six all-new levels, where they’ll master upgraded abilities while solving fresh puzzles incorporating new elements like sheets of ice, torches, magnets, and crystals.

We enjoyed our time with the base game when it landed on Switch last year, so we're optimistic for more good times with this new campaign.

Do you own Trine 4 on Switch? Will you be jumping into this new content when it arrives next year? Let us know in the usual place.

I still need to get around to trying the Trine games one day. I picked up the collection on Switch physically as I found it pretty cheap but just haven't found the time yet.

I was going to pick this up as they said at the start they would get all games on the cartridge. Then a month before, changed their mind so that only 4 is on the cartridge with the others as downloads.
Cancelled my pre-order straight away.

Trine 4 was so, so good!
The ability to attach ropes to objects opened up a ton of fun play.
Much improved combat made the combat parts enjoyable.
It's easily the best in the series, and was a fantastic game by my measures. I'll absolutely get the DLC.

@Bunkerneath You do know they had physical 4 but first series was on a cart. So you didn't look carefully that this option also existed.

Yup, liked this game a lot. Top level indie series overall. So I will probably go for this.

Trine 2 was an exciting purchase on my new Wii U. One day I will get to the sequels on Switch and I know I’ll love it

I got this game physically and all the other Trine games as a code on Switch at Walmart for $5 a few weeks back. It was on clearance with the price slashed multiple times. Have yet to really play any of them. I remember really liking Trine 2 on the Wii U’s launch.

As someone who stumbled into this franchise by playing Nine Parchments, and genuinely enjoying it, would that help in my enjoyment of Trine, or is it closer comparing Breath of the Wild to Hyrule Warriors? (a metaphor that I didn't reach too far for)
