Evaluation
Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince launched on October 8, 2019 and received one paid story expansion — Melody of Mystery — on November 19, 2020, which added six new levels, new skills, and full voice acting. Accompanying content (the expansion's soundtrack and an artbook) followed in December 2020, rounding out the DLC catalog. All four listed DLC items are released, and none are marked as unreleased.
Since the Melody of Mystery expansion, Frozenbyte has issued only technical and maintenance updates — bug fixes and, more recently in late 2025, cross-platform play enhancements linking Steam and Epic Games Store accounts. These are infrastructure updates, not new content.
Frozenbyte has clearly moved on to the next entries in the series: Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy launched on August 31, 2023, and Trine 6: Together in Time was announced on June 6, 2026 for a September 17, 2026 release with a playable demo live as of June 15, 2026. There are no announced or unreleased DLC items for Trine 4, and the developer has made no indication that further content is planned for this title. Trine 4 is a complete, finished product.
Evidence
Trine 4: Melody of Mystery — a 6-level story expansion with new skills and voice acting — launched, representing the game's final major content release.
All four DLC items (Melody of Mystery expansion, its soundtrack, the base game soundtrack, and an artbook) are released with no unreleased items remaining.

Amadeus conjures and levitates objects, Pontius clears the way with sword and shield, and Zoya crosses the widest gaps by grappling hook and shoots arrows from afar. Combine what the three of them can do, and most obstacles will open up in more than one way.Play alone or with up to three friends
