A Frozenbyte developer has announced, via their official message boards, that Trine will not be released this week.  The reason behind the delay is due to a “small bug” that was recently discovered. The developer goes on to say they don’t know about the North American and European release differences, as well.

We can probably expect the game to not release this entire month, as earlier planned (despite some confusion).

If you really have been waiting this long for the puzzle platformer, you should probably just grab the Windows version off of Steam. The game has already received a patch and has been out since early this month.

No, you aren’t going to get an exclusive Section 8 demo if you pre-order the game from GameStop like Madden NFL 10, but you will be getting some exclusive in-game content.

Taken from the game’s GameStop product listing page is the following description:

Reserve Section 8 and receive GameStop exclusive Captain’s Armor for both Section 8 and their adversaries – the Arm of Orion. If you choose to play as a Captain of Section 8, you’ll proudly wear the Imperial Eagle of the USIF on your shoulder plate; as a Captain of the Arm of Orion, you’ll stand out with the rampant Lion of Orion emblazoned on your helmet and gold trim on your power armor. If only we could wear this to prom, we’d get all the ladies.

Section 8 is currently in development over at TimeGate Studios and will hit shelves for the Xbox 360 and PC on August 28th of this year.

In more layoff news, Myst developer Cyan Worlds has laid off the majority of its for-hire QA testing division after its main customer Gamecock was acquired by Southpeak.

Company CEO Tony Fryman noted that only seven employees remain, doing “testing for a few other smaller game companies.”

The studio has had a troubled past, as Myst Online: Uru Live, its ambitious online project, was killed by GameTap earlier this year; the studio’s Uru Live was also shut down by Ubisoft the year before.
