Many gamers where excited when news first broke about the original Two Worlds. The term "Multiplayer Oblivion" was thrown around freely. When the title actually released, however, it was received very poorly. Bad story and worse voice acting seemed to be the death of the title. Even its multiplayer was largely unplayable here in the states due to lag issues.
Reports on the game now is that many of these problems have been fixed for those who actually stuck around long enough to see them through. The voice acting, although still bad, has been redone and lag is no longer present in multiplayer sessions; and its multiplayer that has kept gamers still playing this game and that has given Topware the money to continue to release free add-ons and updates.
Apparently, the game has received enough renewed success as of late that their latest expansion,. The Temptation, has been changed from an expansion to a full on sequel due to this winter. You can read the full press release about Two Worlds 2, that was sent out today, below.
