Two Worlds II: Call of the Tenebrae Released

Two Worlds II: Call of the Tenebrae, a new expansion for the seven years old action-RPG Two Worlds II, is now available on Steam for $8.99, or your regional equivalent. Be advised that the current Steam reviews of TopWare and Reality Pump’s add-on paint a rather bleak, mostly negative, picture due to the game not working at all for some users, and the suddenly added gameplay-altering microtransactions.

In case these issues get fixed or if you’re willing to risk it, here’s the full description of the expansion:

At long last, it’s time to revisit the sprawling lands of Antaloor for another thrilling chapter in the Two Worlds saga! After the high-flying adventure of TW2: Pirates of the Flying Fortress, leave the skies behind and return to Antaloor in this exciting new DLC, Two Worlds 2: Call of the Tenebrae!

In this new RPG adventure, the shocking murder of DarPha sets in motion a chain of events that reveals a powerful new magic and a creeping evil with sinister designs for the populace of Antaloor.
