Those of you looking forward to the early October release of Two Worlds 2 in North America will have to hold on for just a little while longer. SouthPeak Games has announced that the retail release of Two Worlds 2 is being pushed back to January for the North American version of the game.
Here is an excerpt from SouthPeak's press release:
“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.”
While no one enjoys having a game be delayed, I think we can all agree that if it needs a little more time in the oven to become something awesome... It's worth the wait.
SouthPeak then goes on to urge gamers to wait for the official release versus pirating or importing before January.
"By importing the game, you're paying more money for something that if you can wait, you'll be able to buy in January at a cheaper price and that will have benefited from heavyweight Quality Assurance for the North American market."
I think we can all agree that gaming piracy is a big no-no. Taking money away from a game company can hurt the chances of future releases or sequels. January is just around the corner, so gamers in North America don't have too long to wait for the official release. Two Worlds 2 is set to release for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
