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:
About the game (From Steam)
A perfect mix of flexibility, creativity and state-of-the-art technology "Two Worlds II" is a perfect blend of classic and innovated RPG features, atmosphere, and technology. A complex quest system and an exciting main story draw you into the world of Antaloor, made richer by secondary quest scenarios. Rich gameplay and engaging atmosphere propel the story and captures attention, promising danger and exploration throughout the many quests and video sequences. Enhanced AI, balancing standards, experienced authors, an active combat system, the innovative DEMONS™ magic management, and the PAPAK™ alchemy system guarantee enjoyment for new and experienced gamers. An artistic system of attack and defense moves has been integrated into the game. Parries and changing hit results creates a real opportunity for tactics and excitement, as the AI engage in combat and employ strategy of their own. The game also offers extreme flexibility in the weapon and armament design possibilities. The cornerstone at the heart of this feature is the newly created 'CRAFT'™ tool. Players can break down items into their basic materials and create new unique items. "Two Worlds II" is also graphically superb. The powerful GRACE™ engine offers technological highlights such as an unlimited number of dynamic light sources, 24 bit HDR post-processing, and Real Eye Adaptation. It will drastically reduce loading times, improve general game performance, and enable full gameplay with only moderate hardware requirements.

Bought this game back in my Windows days and never finished it. Now I'll play through it on Linux because it's a pretty good game.

If it has the Reality Pump DRM on Steam, I won't buy it. In fact, I won't buy any second-factor DRM-enabled game, as I draw the line at Steam itself.
Interesting - the GoG version of this does not have DRM as someone previously claimed, but a later hotfix released by the publisher apparently puts DRM back on your non-DRM GoG version! What a mess.

The DRM aspect of the GOG version is in the LAN multiplayer. You can only play on Reality Pump's server, and you must register with them in order to play. The registration is tied to your cdkey, and they ask for a lot of information such as phone number, email, and address. It is true that without the patch the multiplayer does not work at all, so in that sense it could be considered DRM free. If I remember correctly, once you apply the patch you are required to register in order to play even the single player mode.
So the unpatched game on GOG is without DRM only because you don't have access to all aspects of the game. You will notice the game is being sold as having coop play, which requires the patch, which requires registration.

I won't buy it if it has Reality Pump DRM, simple as that. Already told a dev that I wont buy Raven's Cry either with that DRM http://steamcommunity.com/app/281130/discussions/0/627456486709592707/
I mean a activation limit of 5 times? No thanks I don't rent games.

This is exactly how I feel about the DRM bull$hit. Steam (Origin miserably fails at mimicing the model, but hey EA sucks anyway) is the line. If you cross this line, then I simply won't buy the game. I didn't buy to rent a game, I bought it to OWN the game.

I own the Steam edition but haven't played it yet so I'll wait for the Linux version. If GOG gets the Linux version I'd shell out the money for a DRM free copy.

There is no DRM free version, even the GOG version includes DRM.

Not to be a downer but that trailer makes the game look really cheap and generic. :/
