Two Worlds II has seen a bumpy ride when it comes to its UK release, which was previously pushed months down the line of the mainland European release. Despite being stuck with an English-voiced mainland release if I wanted to buy it here, it was strangely deemed unfit for the UK.

An 'industry source' has now told Eurogamer that GAME was the only retail store that would even get the game, and told them that "subsequent reports suggest that there was a shipment issue with the Two Worlds 2 stock, and it is uncertain if any units will make it to the UK." The store's website currently only shows the PC version, which is 'unavailable' even though it's schedules for release in three days; although a digital download version is available for pre-order.

TopWare's managing director James Seaman told Eurogamer that the game's release date would not be pushed and that "we will be doing something different - stay tuned." It looks like you may be out of luck if you live in the UK and like boxes, or prefer to play your RPGs on a console.

That's fucked up. TWII is awesome. These companies need to get their chit together.

Fucking idiots.

Pretty sad really, as it turned out to be a solid game, outside of DD places would have no idea where someone would be able to import an PAL region version from

Austria? Germany? Two Worlds 2 is avaible for PS3, Xbox360 and PC over here. Already played trough the main story weeks ago.

What happened? Oo

They're so upset about the bad reviews that they've blacklisted an entire country!

Well, thanks to my newly acquired American Xbox 360 this sort of thing will no longer be a problem :). Now I just need a Japanese one.

It's a shame, but the fact is that with Dead Space 2, Killzone 3, MvC3, Bulletstorm, Dragon Age 2, Pokémon Black/White, Homefront, Crysis 2, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Brink and the 3DS with its total opening library either out now or out by the end of next month, I can't say I'm going to beg for another game to be released which I have less interest in than the above.

Another day, another snub upon UK gamers.

Dragon Quest VI, Inazuma Eleven, and now Two Worlds II.

Sure no dlc will work, but my on ps3, and yours, will play a us version.

No biggie.

@CaptainBus:

I WISH Deus Ex: Human Revolution was out next month!

/I swear; not photoshopped.

If its not this its because their shipment of already pressed games/collectors editions were damaged en-route to them from China.. So whats next? Pterodactyl riding pirates going to attack the next freighter?

I swear Reality Pump needs to shop Two Worlds III to another publisher before Topware caves in on itself, since the company seems to have no clue at all about what they're doing any more.. Its like watching a Jenga set fall..

And seriously I'm starting to get sick of seeing James Seaman's name everywhere lately, its seriously starting to get old.

Good. We don't want it.

@CaptainBus

They haven't put a new date on it yet. It's NOT coming out in March.

And the Dragon Age II demo sucked balls. TWII is better.

"And the Dragon Age II demo sucked balls. TWII is better."

I can't speak for the quality of TW2 but the DA demo was indeed pretty terrible. At least there's The Witcher 2 to look forward to. [Which will almost certainly go to consoles at some point.]

Elsa

Wow... I really pity those devs. They put out a really decent game only to have so many different publishers involved... and all the publishers seem to be fucking it up so badly!

Sæglópur

@MindDuck

Right on. The Witcher 2 looks amazing.

I don't know happened to Dragon Age. That demo was just sooo...bad. Very disappointing.

TrevHead

UK / PAL gamers get fucked so often that I cant even be bothered raising an eyebrow anymore. Sigh
