TopWare Interactive fired over a press release early this morning announcing plans to launch Two Worlds II, the million-selling “turnaround sequel of the year”, in North America and the UK on January 25th, 2011.

TopWare Interactive taking TWO WORLDS II to the UK

Launch Date slated for January, 25th 2011 for the UK and North America

Las Vegas, Nevada December 8th, 2010
Happy Holidays from TopWare Interactive!  We’re proud to announce that Two Worlds II, the major turnaround sequel of the year, has recently broken the one million unit sales mark in Europe after just three weeks on the store shelves. And, the momentum doesn’t appear to be slowing. More than sixty magazines have awarded or reviewed the game as being exceptional, and player feedback has been tremendous as well.

As many know, the North American, Irish and UK release of the next installment in the Two Worlds franchise has been pushed back to January 25th, 2011.  Contrary to an earlier December press release in Europe by TopWare’s publishing partner:  South Peak Games, has relinquished distribution rights in Ireland and the UK to TopWare in order to focus on their North American marketing campaign. The rights were not purchased back by TopWare, as was previously reported.

TopWare Interactive’s, managing director, James Seaman, had this to say: “Both TopWare and South Peak want our game to get the attention it deserves. South Peak wants to give the North American market 100% of their attention, and we’re happy we were able to take some of the weight off their shoulders. Two Worlds II really is a labor of love, and after seeing how far the game has come, the fans are going to be blown away in January!”

TopWare also plans to open a UK office within the next six months that will support the press and all of the retail community in a positive and comprehensive fashion.
