Wii U

Frozenbyte originally intended to include a “Magic Mayhem” mode in Trine 2: Director’s Cut following the game’s launch. But in an interview with GamingBolt, the studio’s George Reith said that the feature probably won’t be released. Magic Mayhem was scrapped for the launch window since “we had a lot of work with bringing the DLC up to the level of quality that we intended”.

“Magic Mayhem was something we intended to do and still is a possibility, but not a likelyhood. The idea was to have small mini games that would really make use of the Wii U Gamepad. In the end we had a lot of work with bringing the DLC up to the level of quality that we intended, so scrapping the Magic Mayhem for the launch window made sense.”


Activision will be bringing The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct to Wii U.

According to producer Glenn Gamble, the title will take advantage of the GamePad for a more streamlined inventory management system. Players will have access to their backpack at all times, and can easy swap out weapons.

Gamble told Digital Spy:

“We were over halfway through the project when the Wii U thing started coming about. We didn’t want to change the game, because the game had already been established, so we tried to say, ‘What can we augment with the Wii U version?’ That’s where it’s basically a more elegant inventory management system. With the Wii U you have access to your backpack at all times, so you can tap what weapons you want, you can drop stuff. It’s a lot more streamlined.”

The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct has a European release date of March 29 on all platforms.
