Frozenbyte has confirmed to G4 that the highly anticipated downloadable game Trine will not be coming out this week as originally expected. Citing a "last-minute bug," Trine designer Lauri Hyvärinen relayed that the developer didn't have a new date for launch.

 I don't really know much about this game, other than what our fine reporters found out at E3, but there's just something about Trine that has caught my interest. I can't quite put my finger on it. Perhaps it's the interesting art style, or maybe it's the concept of a next-gen side-scrolling puzzle-filled platformer that's done it. Until I get to actually play the game, I won't know for certain.

Sadly, a delay of a game like this to any point later in the year almost guarantees that I won't have the time to play it. I was really hoping for something to tide me over until Madden 10 arrived, but even with another two weeks until that happens, it seems unlikely that Trine will be my inbetween games game. Hopefully Frozenbyte can get everything sorted out, and the game will be better for the delay.
