Two Worlds II announced for Xbox 360

By Robert Purchese Published 25 November, 2009

Also on PC, but no word on a PS3 version.

TopWare has officially unveiled the Xbox 360 version of Two Worlds II and plans a simultaneous release with the PC game in spring 2010.

Developer Reality Pump made the original Two Worlds for the same platforms in 2007. There's no word on a PS3 version, which suggests the developer is sticking to familiar territory.

Two Worlds II was announced in July and we're promised a new engine and new gameplay mechanics, although TopWare and Reality Pump have stopped short of colouring those details in.

The Two Worlds II gamepage below knows all we do about the sequel so far, and you can check out our review of the first game elsewhere on Eurogamer.

    The weird thing about this game (who am I kidding, this happens all the time...), is that ppl who played - like, realy played - liked it a lot, ppl who didn't play it seem to be overly vocal to bash it.

    Hopefully this and monster hunter can tide me over until elder scrolls 5 comes out in 2020 :-)

    It was shit... but it's one of my favourite 360 games. Can't explain it, I just couldn't stop playing until it was done.

    Its a good thing they stick to familiar platform... And thats cause it will give them spare time to fix the damn gameplay. Two Worlds was a gorgeous game and with a bright future which got overshadowed from the bad, bad gameplay. If, other than the expected visual improvements, they improve significantly the gameplay and movement of the main character this has potential to get the highlights I expect The Witcher 2 to get. Thats opinion...

    P.S. The reason why ppl that ended up sticking with the game and playing through is cause the game was indeed awesome. As long as you manage to put up with the obviously bad movement and such of the game.

    mindboggling.
    i did play it, and I felt like someone had squatted over my face and shat in my eyes.
    just saying. I didn't just trade this in, i demanded instore credit / refund.

    I really tried liking Two Worlds, I really did (I am an ardent fan of the Gothic series, for crying out loud) but it lost me somewhere when I got to a big city and had to enter the sewers and some story twist happened.

    What I do remember vividly though was the weird weapon combination system (or whatever you might call it). In the beginning of the game I took some common weapon from a bandit because it was better than my own. But then I met a thousand other bandits with the same weapon (with only slightly different stats) and I combined them all. It resulted in the first weapon I found in the entire game being hugely more powerful than anything I happened to find 20 hours/30 levels later! It was weird.

    Two Worlds... Two?

    Great name!

  • ronuds #9 2 years ago

    I liked the first as well, but it was probably one of the least polished games I've ever played.

    I bet PS3 owners will be gutted...

    Not.

    You didnt"really" play it. If you did you would have liked it.

    Protip: Buy a used 360 copy for £3 from Ebay, use the console commands to turn the in-game grass off (to get the framerate up to an acceptable level), then proceed to have a really very entertaining twenty hours or so.

  • Quint2020 #13 2 years ago

    I'm willing to give it a chance, the levelling system and combat of the first one was right up my street, unfortunately though I just couldn't get past the absolutely shoddy presentation, if they've tidied up the graphics and got rid of the hideous voice acting I'll give it a go.

    two worlds two is goty

  • Eighthours #15 2 years ago

    Amusing developer name, considering that the first game was utter Pump.

  • Xarius302 #16 2 years ago

    bets on it being shatsville?

  • YourMessageHere #17 2 years ago

    how many worlds?

  • Darren #18 2 years ago

    The first game was appalling on the Xbox 360, easily the platform's worst games by miles IMO if not gameplay wise then certainly technically, so my expectations for the sequel being even better than mediocre are very, very, very, very small indeed.The best thing about the original game was the unintentionally funny dialogue and voice-"acting".

  • Machetazo #19 2 years ago

    There IS word on a PS3 version, on the official site: <a href="http://www.twoworlds2.c om/en/
    ">http://www.twoworlds2.c om/en/
    </a>
    Other words from the good ol' resource of "internet reports" peg it as being available the same time as the other console, and PC versions.

    I actually qutie enjoyed the 360 version, it had a rough charm to it and the combat system was quite satisfying. It did feel quite perverse tho opening up the console window and typing in code to turn off grass and foliage to improve the framerate! There were a few command to increase performance I recall and you had to type them in each boot lol

  • TonyCocaCola #21 2 years ago
