Earlier this week we reported that publisher Atlus had plans to release the next game from developer Frozenbyte. As it turns out the game is going to be a sequel to Frozenbyte's acclaimed puzzle-platformer title Trine. The sequel, with the not-too-imaginative title of Trine 2, is currently scheduled for release in 2011 and it will be shown next week at E3.

That's pretty much all we know at this point about the sequel (there's still no word on specific platforms) although if we were a betting news post (and we aren't) we would guess it would continue with the original game's mix of physics-based puzzles with some action through in for good measure. We should learn a lot more about the game at E3.

Developer Frozenbyte has been keeping busy and it looks like soon we will learn what their next game will be like. This week the developer sent over word that it has struck a new publishing deal with Altus for an all new game that will be released in 2011. More info on the game will be announced next week at E3 2010.

There's no info on what platforms the new game will appear on but Frozenbyte's previous games have all appeared on the PC, including the sci-fi top down shooters Shadowgrounds and Shadowgrounds Survivor and last year's release of the acclaimed platformer-puzzle game Trine.
