Two Worlds: The Temptation Preview

IGN was able to take a closer look at Reality Pump’s Two Worlds: The Temptation during the Leipzig Games Convention.

The first thing SouthPeak pointed out to us is that the sequel will have vastly improved graphics. The game still looks early with regular pop-in and clipping issues, but you can see the groundwork the company is laying down. One jungle setting we saw looked quite inviting already and a lot of the game is still running on old code. The animations and face textures are still holdovers from the first Two Worlds game, though they’ll soon be swapped out for new and improved versions.

The Temptation continues the story from the first game, so you’ll still only be able to play as a male human in the single player game. And, as tradition goes in RPGs, he’ll have forgotten all of the skills he learned in the last game. We’re told there’s a good reason built into the plot that the developers don’t want to spoil, so we’ll just have to take their word for it right now. Once the adventure begins, you’ll have to start leveling up anew; relearning skills (some old and some new) and working your character back up to form.
