Publisher TopWare Interactive announces Two Worlds III is now in the
concept stage at Reality Pump Studios, saying the RPG is projected for a
three-year development cycle. They say to keep an eye out for further
announcements and then immediately offer one, laying out plans to update Two
Worlds II with eight new multiplayer maps and two new single-player DLC
packs, saying a big engine update will be part of the mix that will add
Linux/SteamOS support. Here's word: Two Worlds III™ is currently in the
concept stage and scheduled for development over the next 36 months. Keep an eye
out for further announcements.
And that's not all! We're also excited to announce a major engine update for Two
Worlds II, and we're going to need it, because while we're laying down the
basics for the third installment in the series, this year we're also going to be
releasing eight new Two Worlds II multiplayer maps and two brand-new,
single-player DLCs, Call of the Tenebrae and Shattered Embrace!
The first DLC, entitled Two Worlds II: Call of the Tenebrae will be available at
the end of Q2 2016 and focuses on the Hero's return to Antaloor, where he
witnesses the shocking murder of DarPha! The killers are a never-before-seen
tribe of hideous, rat-like creatures known only as "The Chosen", who control a
mysterious, powerful new magic! Their genocidal plot threatens every living
creature in Antaloor, and it's up to the Hero to find a way to stop
them!

Atari announces that early access to RollerCoaster Tycoon World will
begin on March 30th. This is the latest in a series of ups and downs for the
theme park sim, as it was due
last December before being
delayed to early this year, but they never revealed any plans for early
access prior to now. This is addressed on the
game's official website, where they say that anyone who preordered the game
through
Atari.com or
RollerCoasterTycoon.com who wishes a refund can collect one between now and
March 31st. This may be because this might not be the briefest early access
period, as they outline a number of free updates they plan on rolling out "in
the coming months." Here's more on early access: During the Early Access
period, participants will help shape the final details of RollerCoaster Tycoon
World and provide invaluable input as the title rolls to a full launch. As we
are not yet feature complete, fans can expect a number of new features,
optimizations, and enhancements to be released during and after the Early Access
period. These include, but are not limited to, Dark Rides, Transport Rides, and
Piece by Piece Custom Built Structures.
Another chance to play PAYDAY 2 for free is now available
through Steam, where
Starbreeze's heist sequel is gratis for the next week. This coincides with a
sale where you can pick up a copy of the game or the GotY edition for 75% off,
though if you are feeling generous, they still offer four-packs at full price.
The free week coincides with the release of a new
Hardcore Henry character pack, adding to the number of clowns you can team
up with. Here's a Hardcore
Henry Packs Trailer along with word on free updates, including new heists
coming next week: The Hardcore Henry PAYDAY 2 collaboration comes with
two free updates and today we're introducing Jimmy, portrayed by the one and
only Sharlto Copley. You might recognize him from movies such as District 9,
Elysium, Chappie or The A-Team. Everyone in the OVERKILL crew are excited to see
him join the PAYDAY gang robbing banks and getting paid. Sharlto not only lent
us his beautiful appearance in-game, he also spent tons of hours with us
recording thousands of voice lines for the Jimmy character in PAYDAY 2.
Make sure you give Sharlto a follow and tell him how excited you are to see him
being a part of PAYDAY 2!

Free heists on March 31st
With the introduction of Jimmy from Hardcore Henry, we're also introducing two
new heists next Thursday. For the first time ever in PAYDAY 2, the PAYDAY gang
are going to Russia. More information on what they're doing in Russia and what
the heists are about will be shared next week!

BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America has a message for those who have managed to
get the Japanese version of Dark Souls III, as this recently launched
before the international versions of the action/RPG sequel. They're not mad
(bro), they just want everyone to be aware that this does not yet include all
they have planned for the game, and that you should hold off judgment of the
experience until the game's worldwide release on April 12th, which will include
a day one/18 patch. Here's word: We would like to take this opportunity
to inform Dark Souls III fans that any gameplay they may experience prior to the
official April 12th release date for the game will not be complete. The
international version of the game currently does not have its multiplayer
capabilities activated, nor does it include the contents of a planned day-one
patch that will deliver further optimization of the game. Players will be able
to download the day-one patch on April 12th, the official international release
date for Dark Souls III.
