The great thing about what we do at GamingOnLinux is that we re-check our news, and try to catch up with developers. This time we managed to find out that Two Worlds II will release for Linux this month!

We previously wrote about Two Worlds II coming to Linux in October of 2013, so it has been a long time coming, and we can't wait to test it out.

Looks like there will be a retail edition out after the Steam edition, so that will be interesting to see if anyone can find one to show us!

Here's a cut-out of my email conversation on the topic of the Linux release, from today:
