Yes, we know -- SoutPeak Game's Two Worlds for the Xbox 360 and PC was pretty much a disaster. Marred by everything from frame rate issues to poor in-game menu design, the open-world title didn't quite live up to the promise of, well, a good game.

Regardless, SouthPeak have announced a sequel for the game called Two Worlds: The Temptation which will be available for the Xbox 360 and PC this fall. The game will take place shortly after the events of the first title, and will feature more intricate missions, improved voice-overs and animations, an overhauled horseback riding mechanic, completely new combat, and a new game engine. So pretty much, it sounds like they're starting from scratch, doesn't it?

The game is once again being designed by Polish dev studio Reality Pump, and the game's Chief Designer says they're putting everything in to making "a game that's far and away better than the original."

"We've taken to heart all of the comments made by gamers about Two Worlds and we're going to give them what they want with the sequel," he says.

A good game would be nice. And oh yeah, some of you might recall that The Temptation was originally planned as an "expansion" to the original. I wonder what made them change their mind ...
