Two Worlds - Update News

Southpeak sent us over news that an Xbox 360 demo will be released for Two Worlds.  The news also outlines the anticipated v1.6 patches - we've seen the patch notes previously and these look substantially the same but some of the wording is a little different.  No word on exactly when the 1.6 patch will be available:

SouthPeak Games will be releasing a playable demo of their massive free-roaming RPG adventure - Two Worlds - tomorrow (Thursday) on Xbox LIVE (for download). (www.2-worlds.com)

The demo offers a huge portion of Two Worlds’ expansive single-player map to explore, complete with numerous quests to solve and wandering monsters to battle.
