The sequel to
Topware Interactive and
Reality Pump's RPG is finally announced for PC, Mac, and Xbox 360 this Winter. Said the press release,
Two Worlds II will feature a completely overhauled AI and balancing standards, experienced authors, active combat system, bran-new engine and more.
Simply, its ambition is to set "new technical benchmarks in the RPG genre". They aim to achieve this with the use of "seemingly unlimited number of dynamic light sources,
micro-detail Parallax Mapping, 24 Bit
HDR Post Processing, Space Ambient Occlusion and Human Eye Accommodation."
As for the story, it follows the plot of the first iteration, about a couple of years after
Two Worlds 1 (PC and Xbox 360). This time around, though, you will expand your horizons by exploring yet-undiscovered parts of Eastern Antalooor, filled with dusty deserts and ancient temples.
Executive Producer Alexandra Constandache says of the sequel:
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.
Coupled with the announcement of the game is the news that they will also be sending out the next version of the Two Worlds magazine, the "Antaloor Post", where the developers from Reality Pump provide you with a blow-by-blow account of the latest happenings and developments on the game.
