German outlets reported on Thursday that the Magdeburg studio behind the indie role-playing game Drova has announced a successor. heise online confirmed the follow-up, while XboxDynasty gave it the fuller title Drova II Torn Lands and reported that the game returns with an entirely new world.
Several German gaming and regional outlets carried the news the same day. GameStar described the original as the best 2D Gothic-style game and said the sequel addresses mistakes made in the first title. PC Games.de called the original the best German Gothic alternative and reported that a continuation has now been revealed. Volksstimme, based in the studio's home city of Magdeburg, framed the announcement as a local success story, noting the studio is following in the footsteps of Gothic.
The original Drova drew comparisons to Gothic, the German role-playing series, and those comparisons run through the coverage of the sequel. The reports consistently describe the first game as an indie success, which is why the announcement has been picked up by both specialist gaming press and regional media. Beyond the new setting and the stated intent to fix the original's shortcomings, the summaries give no details on platforms, release timing or gameplay systems.
What to watch next: whether the studio shares a release window, target platforms or further details on the new world.
