Frozenbyte has announced a special discount for Trine Enchanted Edition. If you’ve purchased Trine 2: Director’s Cut on Wii U, Enchanted Edition will be available for 20 percent off.

This works the other way around as well. If you end up picking up Trine Enchanted Edition but have not yet bought Trine 2: Director’s Cut, that title will be discounted by 20 percent as well.

Frozenbyte CEO Lauri Hyvärinen said:

“We’re extremely happy and excited to finally bring the origin story of the Trine series to Wii U. We’ve had a great reception with Trine 2: Director’s Cut ever since the launch of the console. To reward our loyal fans on Wii U, we came up with the Trine Series Fan Discount, a promotion that hopefully makes up for the delays we’ve had with the release!”

Trine Enchanted Edition launches this Thursday in North America. The game is “likely” to arrive sometime this month in Europe.

Image & Form shared a fresh batch of screenshots from SteamWorld Heist today. We’ve added them all to our gallery below.

Additionally, we have an update on SteamWorld Heist’s release date. IGN mentioned last week that the title would launch in August, but Image & Form is sticking with a vague “2015” window for now.

So our new release window is “2015”. And it won’t be before fall this year. If you’re disappointed I do feel with you. But even worse would be you purchasing an incomplete game, right? We’d never let you experience that. And like I said above: With the extra time we will make SteamWorld Heist the best turn-based, skill-based strategy game with steampunk robots. In space.
