SouthPeak reports US retail stock in Two Worlds II running low

SouthPeak has said over Twitter that it’s having issues meeting US retail demand for Two Worlds II.

According to various tweets from SouthPeak PR representative Aubrey Norris, “Two Worlds II is literally flying off the shelves at several large retailers,”.

“We can’t restock them fast enough,” she tweeted. “I’m getting the rundown of all the retailers that sold out of their initial orders. We’re printing more copies asap… wish retail would have ordered more to begin with so we wouldn’t be out of stock, but [it's] not a bad problem to have.”

SouthPeak’s initial reports find the platform selling through the most copies is the Xbox 360 version.

RipTen, which noticed the tweets, called around to local game retailers in its area and found several Best Buy and GameStop locations were indeed completely out of Two Worlds II.

We called our local Best Buy, which confirmed it was running low on stock of the RPG, and yesterday upon a visit to GameStop we were unable to find a copy for PS3 or Xbox 360. We were told to check back later in the week for more stock.

After various delays, Two Worlds II was released last month in North America on PS3 and Xbox 360. It is out on PC and Mac February 28.

The game launched in mainland Europe back in November on PC, and sold 1 million units. It’s slated for a UK release on February 4.

I’m rather diggin the game. it has a couple small things that are annoying, but for the most part it’s pretty good. Since there is no other RPG competition right now, it’s really filling a void.

It’s definitely good. I bought it last november and i’m enjoying it. It’s two worlds better than the first one (pun intended), but it’s still far from perfect. Side quests tend to get boring after awhile, the characters…well, i don’t care much for them. The combat system while at first great, becomes kinda normal and unchallenging because you easily mash through most enemies at a certain level.

But it’s still very worth it IMO.

Looking to buy the game, but is there a PS3 version?

My xb360 is giving me the read disc error bs again, so i am going to start buying multiplats on PS3. Anyone know if the game has known issues on PS3?

O.G. I hate to say it but it safe to say each one has issues of some kind. The polish in the game is what you’d expect from a small dev. Just keep your auto save on every 5 min and have at least 4-5 hard saves
