Two Worlds Delayed Yet Again

Barely did we mention it about a week ago, in a RPG news round-up, and now Zuxxez' and Reality Pump's fantasy RPG once again honors us with its presence in the following lines. Although ironically said "honors", since all that we have is a bad news for those of you who were eagerly waiting for it, like some top-quality substitute for other recent productions in the genre (Oblivion and Gothic 3 in particular). So, it looks like Two Worlds was delayed. Yes, again!

The producers broke the news straight on the game's website, where they confessed that their RPG will not be out in Europe on March 7, but on May 9, 2007.

The delay was justified by the need to further balance the game, and to perfect the multiplayer aspect, which should hopefully place Two Worlds one step ahead - or at least sideways - when compared to the two heavy-weight titles mentioned above. The clarification comes from Zuxxez's CEO, Alexandra Constandache:

"It's the atmosphere of a game that really suffers if the balancing isn't quite perfect or if annoying bugs make life difficult - especially in the RPG sector. We're fortunate enough to be in a position where we ourselves can determine when our game will be marketed - and we have taken the decision to postpone its release for a short time. The time gained will be used to further perfect the multiplayer aspect. We'll be publishing more info next week about this feature."

So don't despair, it's not that big of a delay. In early May, the enormous world of Antaloor from Two Worlds will open its doors both on PC and Xbox 360, inviting all those role-playing fans who just can't get enough.
