Two World Sequel Hitting Xbox and PC Market this Fall
It looks like the open world RPG Two Worlds has spawned a sequel that’s slated for release this year. SouthPeak Games announced that Two Worlds: The Temptation will be available this fall for the Xbox 360 and PC and will continue the story started in the first Two Worlds game. It sounds like they’ll be totally overhauling the graphics engine in addition to making a host of coming of age type updates which include improved character animations and an updated combat system all of which will be greatly appreciated I’m sure by fans.
I’m hoping these improvements will make for a game that I might be interested in playing through this time around. I tried the first Two Worlds, but I just couldn’t get past some of the games interactive and visual short comings, mainly combat and character animations. The multiplayer capabilities of the game though were extremely intriguing to me however and as a fan of open world RPGs (Ultima 6 being one of my favorite games of all time), I was following the release of the first game for quite awhile.
Check out the press release:
Taking place shortly after the events portrayed in the first Two Worlds, The Temptation takes place in Eastern Antaloor, mostly in the regions surrounding Oswaroh and the Drak’ar Desert. Two Worlds: The Temptation will also include a host of improvements and all-new game content on the same scale as the original Two Worlds’ epic game world. From more intricate missions, improved voice-overs and animations to re-tooled horseback riding, completely revamped combat and a new graphics engine that delivers visuals that have to be seen to be believed, Two Worlds: The Temptation is set to build on the success of the original and take the fantasy kingdom of Antaloor to new heights of complexity and player freedom.
“We first envisioned The Temptation as an expansion to the original,” said Miroslaw Dymek, Chief Developer with Reality Pump explained. “However, as we started creating the story and reworking almost every aspect of the game, we realised that we were well on our way to crafting a fully-fledged sequel. Our entire development team is now putting their all into making Two Worlds: The Temptation a game that is far and away better than the original.”
“Two Worlds has a huge fan base across the world, and all will be happy to hear that The Temptation will be exactly what they’ve been hoping for in a sequel.” Said Melanie Mroz, CEO of SouthPeak Games. “The team at Reality Pump has taken to heart all the comments made by the players and will incorporate massive improvements that are sure to please and surprise everyone.”

Was watching gameplay vids of the original Two Worlds, seemed interesting… the combat actually looked fun. But it wasn’t very good you say?
I’ll have to check out this “upgraded” sequel when it comes out.
