Frozenbyte, developer of the Trine series, has announced a new co-operative game called Nine Parchments. Players play as one of a group of drop-out wizard apprentices that are looking for the quickest path to the Nine Parchments. The Nine Parchments takes nine years of schooling to obtain but this group of ragtag magicians have only finished their first two.  Much of the game’s fun comes from the mayhem that occurs when four players begin mastering the world of magic. Those looking to see what Nine Parchments has to offer should watch the announcement trailer below.

The game is currently in development and is planned on being released in 2017. Nine Parchments is playable at the Indie Arena at Gamescom this year.
