Will you be an evil or benevolent deity? Electronic Arts and Lionhead Studios today announced that Black and White 2 has begun to ship to retail outlets for the PC. From the creative minds of god game developer Peter Molyneux and RTS-creator Ron Millar, Black and White 2 is the sequel to the critically acclaimed hit Black and White.
“Everyone at Lionhead is very proud of what they have achieved with Black and White 2 — it is a monumental task these days to complete a mass market game. I’d like to thank the whole team for all their hard work and EA for their support,” said Peter Molyneux, Managing Director, Lionhead Studios.
In Black and White 2, players reprise the role of a powerful deity in search of a following and return to the once idyllic world of Eden, where the discovery of weaponry and warfare has tainted the beautiful landscape. With the help of a player’s gigantic Creature that is raised from infancy, players must earn the respect and worship of the natives. How a player chooses to do that, whether through nurturing them or terrorising them, is up to each individual.
