Development of Two Worlds II began as early as 2005[notes 1] as a Two Worlds expansion titled Two Worlds: The Temptation[1]. The Temptation quickly grew much larger than originally intended and became a full-fledged sequel, first being referred to as such on November 28, 2007, just six and a half months after the release of Two Worlds.[2] Developing it as a sequel enabled the developers to expand the narrative further, and in 2009 the project was overhauled and a more sophisticated engine titled GRACE™ was created to develop the game.[3] Sometime between March 2009[4] and July 2009[5][6], the title "The Temptation" was dropped in favor of titling it Two Worlds II, due to the devs feeling that The Temptation would always be associated with expansion.[5]

Delays

It was originally planned for a release in "spring 2010"[7], later pushed back to August 8, 2010[8], but was later pushed back to September 14, 2010[9][10], and then October 5, 2010.[11] In an E3 2010 Q&A, Jake DiGennaro said the game was planned to be released in the fall[12]. It was eventually released on November 12, 2010.
