Two Worlds II announced for Winter 2009 launch on PC, Mac, Xbox 360 and PS3
Two Worlds 2 has been announced by developer Reality Pump and publisher TopWare Interactive for PC, Mac, Xbox 360 and PS3. It will be released this Winter.
The sequel will open up a “radically new chapter in the fantasy world” and follows the “fantastic worldwide sales success” of the original MMORPG.
Two Worlds 2 presents a “totally new gamer experience”, one in which 2 years of intensive development has enabled quantum leaps in all spheres: completely overhauled AI and balancing standards, experienced authors, the active combat system and the brand-new engine all combine to provide an “unforgettable experience where excitement, sheer enjoyment and graphics rule.”
According to the developers, Two Worlds 2 “simply sets new technical benchmarks in the RPG genre, thanks not least to its seemingly unlimited number of dynamic light sources, micro-detail Parallax Mapping, 24 Bit HDR Post Processing, Space Ambient Occlusion and Human Eye Accommodation.”
Story-wise, Two Worlds 2 is staged a couple of years after Part 1 - and it will lead you into new unexplored parts of Eastern Antaloor where you’ll find many brand-new locations packed full of atmosphere - from dusty deserts to awe-inspiring temples.
Alexandra Constandache, the Executive Producer of TWII commented, “We intentionally opted for a completely independent game with radical new technology. This was the only way to ensure that we harness the enormous potential and experience gained from the making of the first “Two Worlds” project - and make full use of the further technical development of internal Reality Pump tools that has been on-going since the first “Two Worlds” was developed. This new release window gives us enough time to systematically implement both our own requirements and the feedback of the “Two World” fans, enabling us to create a breathtaking RPG experience.”
The developers will also release the next version of their Two Worlds magazine, the “Antaloor Post”, soon. This will allow fans to get all the latest news and development on the new title directly from the source. You can also sign up to their newsletter at the official web-site.
So what happened to Two Worlds: The Temptation? It got cancelled and has become part of this sequel.
