Two Worlds Sequel Due This Fall

SouthPeak Games has announced it plans to ship a sequel to its well-regarded Two Worlds open-world RPG for Windows PCs and the Xbox 360 this fall. Titled Two Worlds: The Temptation, the new game will take place just after the event portrayed in the first game, and feature just as much original content, along with a new combat system and game engine designed to push game play to a whole new level.

“I’m sure fans of RPGs will be pleased with the vast amounts of new content and massive improvements to the core game play in Two Worlds: The Temptation,” said Melanie Mroz, CEO of SouthPeak Games. “It’s an ambitious, yet refined title that will surprise a lot of people.”

Two Worlds: The Temptation will feature more involved missions, retooled horseback riding, a fully revamped combat system, and improved voiceovers and animation. Players will also be able to use boats, move objects to defeat enemies or reach higher ground, and the sequel will feature a wealth of new environments and animals.

SouthPeak Games hasn’t announced pricing or rating information for the sequel; the current version of Two Worlds is rated M for “Mature” by the ESRB.

This precious Game Pass adventure let me see the world through my cat’s eyes

A cat holds bread in Little Kitty, Big City.

I recently moved into a new apartment, graduating from a boxy one-bedroom to a much larger two-bedroom railroad-style space. It’s been a great change for me, but it's my cat who is thriving. She’s no longer a paperweight glued to my couch. She spends the days bouncing between rooms, jumping off of furniture, sneaking into cabinets, and peering out windows. Her entire world has tripled and she’s become a new creature because of it.

As fate would have it, that would also be the subject of the first game I played in my new apartment. Little Kitty, Big City is an adorable new indie game about a black housecat accidentally finding itself lost in town after falling off its windowsill. Had I played it in another context, I might have been tempted to write it off as a cute, but light indie curiosity (the kind of game that's perfect for Xbox Game Pass). Instead, it’s a classic case of the right place, right time for me. For one precious afternoon, I could see my cat’s big new world through her eyes.
On the prowl
Little Kitty, Big City is sure to draw some immediate parallels to Stray thanks to its feline hero. The two share plenty of DNA, but the big difference is that Little Kitty, Big City is more of a Saturday morning cartoon than the brainier sci-fi of Stray. As soon as I gain control of my fallen hero, I’m let loose in a small open city where I can get up to the same slapstick hijinks that my own cat annoyingly seems to love.
