Trion Worlds has unveiled three very interesting games that have been in the works for years and are scheduled to debut starting in 2011.

The games and the platform they run on have been in development for more than four years. Now the company is showing what the new games will look like in action for the first time.

We had a chance to attend Trion’s unveiling event last Thursday. Check out the three videos below. The first is an interview with Michael Legg (pictured right), president of Petroglyph Games, an external game studio in Las Vegas that is developing End of Nations for Trion to publish.

The second interview is with Scott Hartsman, a former Sony Online Entertainment executive and general manager of Trion’s studio in Redwood City, Calif., which is developing Rift: Planes of Telara.

And the third interview is with Lars Buttler, chief executive of Trion, talking about what the company is doing with both its platform and its new games.
