Legacy

edit

A sequel, Polanie 3 or KnightShift 2: Curse of Souls, was announced in 2004.[3][4] A playable demo was already available in 2004, with plans for a release in 2005. It was supposed to be a computer rpg-type game, abandoning its real-time strategy roots.[5][6] The game was supposed to be available for the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms.[7][8] The game was never released under that name.[4] However, it eventually lost all of its RTS elements and morphed into a computer role-playing game released in 2007 as Two Worlds.[9]
