Two Worlds II, released earlier this year in the UK and North America (mainland Europe were lucky enough to see a release in 2010), is getting a full-on expansion entitled ‘Pirates of the Flying Fortress’, as well as a special edition that will include both the full game and the expansion. Known as the ‘Velvet Edition’, the forthcoming re-release will be housed in a limited edition red velvet box, with metal corners in the style of antique brass and a bold relief Two Worlds II logo at the top of the box. Both the expansion and the Velvet Edition are due for release in mid-October.

While the original Two Worlds II had a few problems with bugs and crusty dialogue, underneath the surface lies a very rewarding and expansive game (you can see our review here). Going back to the game for the expansion, developer Reality Pump is hoping to iron out any problems this time around by revamping the engine with new features including updated dialogue animations and all new voice over talent, as well as adding the new quests and environments.

For the ‘Velvet Edition’, Topware Interactive is going one step further, and including a huge double-sided world map and a pirate head collectible pin, which is also available in-game and will boost the player’s parameters if hefted to armor. Also included is a bonus disc containing artwork, wallpaper, videos, an extended soundtrack and two additional PvP multiplayer maps – enough to keep even the most hardcore of fans satisfied. Until then, feast your eyes on these sparkly new screenshots from the Pirates of the Flying Fortress expansion:
