Two Worlds II pushed to spring 2010

By Robert Purchese Published 16 November, 2009

Plus: SouthPeak grabs TNA licence.

SouthPeak has announced a spring 2010 date for Two Worlds II - a sequel once penned for winter 2009.

The publisher also announced (in a financial report on GameSpot) the acquisition of TNA Impact from defunct publisher Midway (now known as Tradewest Games in the UK).

For now, Southpeak's wrestling plans extend only to TNA Impact: Cross the Line for PSP and PSPgo this winter, and TNA Impact: Dual Slam for DS, which is dateless.

Two Worlds II replaced Two Worlds: The Temptation, an expansion developer TopWare was keen to distance from the sequel last summer.

As expected, the brash PR behind Two Worlds II promises something "breathtaking"; something thankfully "quantum leaps" beyond the original, which was average on PC and dismal on console.

TNA Impact, on the other hand, finally provided WWE SmackDown vs. RAW with some competition, although there's still work to do. Our TNA Impact review can be found elsewhere on the site.

    I have been following this for ages. Looks as though I will wait a little longer.

    After playing the first appalingly shoddy effort on the Xbox 360 (the system's worst game by far IMO), I can't say I'm the slightest bit excited about the sequel. It would have to be a vast improvement, near-perfect and score 90%+ to get my attention next time round, something I cannot see happening even on the PC.

    Besides with the likes of excellent Oblivion, Neverwinter Nights 2, The Witcher and Dragon Age: Origins there's less need for another generic fantasy RPG really. Risen was utterly average too. Thank god for BioWare, Bethesda and other talented RPG developers.

    Section 8 was published by them, and that wasn't half bad. Certainly a step in the right direction. I hope this one doesn't send them backward.

    I really enjoyed Two Worlds on PC and Xbox 360 ( they came out almost a year apart).....oh well

    If you don't like Two Worlds, then you don't like fun.

    The game itself I could stomach but it was just the really poor voice acting that just stopped me playing it, getting that sorted will be a step in the right direction at least.

  • immateriaux #9 2 years ago

    Glad this is being pushed back in a way , some good rpgs around at the moment so it avoids the glut and hopefully arrives more polished from the wait. And really enjoyed the first one on PC, once patched, so looking forward to what they come up with now.

    Would have much rather EA got the TNA licence. Not that I've bought a wrestling game in years, the SvR series were just same shit, different disk.
