Two Worlds II - Shattered Embrace Announcement
- Thread starter Silver
- Start date
Shared the news a few hours ago. I'm excited but others probably wont be. Now if they would only announce more information about part III. Sigh more waiting.

Releasing an expansion to a game that old is never going to turn out well. I can't imagine this being financially successful, even if the expansion itself is good. I might actually give it a pop, but I very much doubt it will gain any kind of momentum in the community.
Two Worlds II is easily the longest milked single-player RPG in history.
Well that's what happens when most of your employees leave to work for CD Projekt because the developer/publisher went bankrupt. Not counting the last game was a flop.
Guess they need to make money somehow to stay open.

I enjoyed the base game for what it was, but honestly, none of the new content is of interest to me. I doubt I'll ever replay this one.
AT least they didn't turn the servers off. This game was very popular online for a very long time and just to check I went into the game and behold, people are still playing. Hats off to them for giving their fans more game to play.
The reason the server is still up is thanks to the new multiplayer DLC released last year. Guess the revenue earned from the sales on Steam & GOG pay the upkeep costs.

Sure looks like throwing even more good money after bad from where I'm sitting.
Probably is I agree with you in theory but like I said above they need to make money to stay afloat. So minimal work that nets a small profit is the path they choose to take.
I just want news about part three but it probably never started development yet.
I loved 2W2 but really couldn't get into any of the DLC for it. I vaguely remember something about an update that messed up the original game and made it even more grindy.
Outside of Bethesda games, I have more hours in this game than most.

You are forgetting Baldur's Gate.
That and Ice Wind Dale, Planescape Torment, Neverwinter Nights and so on.
Basically everything that BeamDog re-releases nowadays.
Lots of games get rereleased/remastered. That's not the same as producing DLC for for a game that's nearly a decade old.
Already told you why they do it. Also this DLC was announced over two years ago. They are behind schedule and it looks like things haven't improved much since the bankruptcy.
