    Keyboard and controllers: yes, this works with up to the maximum of 4 players on one PC (1 keyboard and 3* controllers, or 4* controllers)
  8. subject to enough free USB slots
  9. Will Trine 5 have any modern GPU features, such as ray tracing, DLSS, DLAA, frame generation?
    No plans on that side. Our game is very optimized.


Content questions:
  1. Will there be a hardcore mode on the release, i.e. no deaths allowed?
    Not full hardcore mode, but within the “Custom” difficulty, you can select a “Master” level difficulty for resurrection, which means you have 0 Soul Points and you’ll get a Game Over if any of your heroes dies. You’ll then be able to resume the game from the latest Grand Checkpoint.
  2. Are there spawn points again?
    There are checkpoints scattered throughout the levels. You can continue the game from any checkpoint.

    No, unless you count running away from certain fights.

    Mostly free battles, but in some areas you’ll have to fight your way through to advance.
  7. How will Amadeus create his cubes and balls? Above his head or where you draw and appear there?
    Above his head. For extra special wizard-y feeling, you can enable “Draw shapes to conjure objects” in the Options (-> Control Options). The objects will still appear above Amadeus’ head for gameplay reasons, however.
