Two Worlds 2 delayed...again

Two Worlds 2 is a AAA title and sequel to the original Two worlds, being developed by Reality Pump. It was set to release next week on October 5th until today when news of a delay came out. The publisher of Two Worlds 2, SouthPeak Interactive has announced that in order to create a complete, bug free experience, the game would be delayed until January 2011 and had the following to comment about it.

“Two Worlds II is set for a January release in North America. We understand that this is not great news for those of you eager for an October release and we can understand that you might feel that our European cousins’ potentially getting the game before you is frustrating to say the least. However, there’s a reason for everything and although we feel that the game is truly at ‘AAA’ level, that reason is that we want Two Worlds II to be absolutely flawless when it launches in the North American market. Although we could bring the game to market earlier in order to take advantage of the holiday buying season, we felt that we would do a better service to you by making sure that the game you want is absolutely as it should be. It’s vital to us that we always give you the best possible information and this is the reason that we haven’t commented on the date before now; we did not want to say something to you, only to have that information change once again. Now, we are in a position to confirm the January release date.”

This is not entirely terrible news for those that aren’t tearing their hair out in anticipation for the game. Often a game that takes longer to develop, but is bug free and more fleshed out provides for a better experience no matter how long the wait. Whether or not this will hurt the company because it now has to compete with all the early 2011 releases is yet to be seen.
