Two Worlds: Curse of Souls DLC Available Now
SouthPeak Games has announced that Curse of Souls, the highly anticipated second set of downloadable content for their open world role-playing game Two Worlds, is now available via Xbox Live Marketplace. Rated M for Mature, the content pack expands the online multiplayer world of Antaloor with new maps and weapons, and is available for 600 Microsoft points.Curse of Souls’ four new maps offer over 35 never before seen quests for players to conquer together. In addition, players can battle one another in an innovative player-versus-player challenge where opponents battle to control magical orbs within a variety of arenas. In all, there are over 10 hours of new content in this downloadable pack.
Players can also combine Curse of Souls with Tainted Blood, the first downloadable content pack for Two Worlds, to greatly expand the experience. Tainted Blood offered new maps, more quests, and introduced players to the town of Tharnburg. Composed of two distinct districts, those visiting the new town can learn skills in the Merchant’s District, or challenge other players to battle in the Gladiator District’s huge arena.
"The online portion of Two Worlds has proven immensely popular with the game’s fans, and this downloadable pack not only offers new places to explore but gives players an arena to go mono e mono and see who has created the stronger character," said Melanie Mroz, CEO of SouthPeak Games. "Combined with the first downloadable content pack, there are more hours of multiplayer gaming available than many single-player games offer."
