Developer S2 Games today announced it will be releasing the much anticipated sequel to Savage: The Battle for Newerth.   Set to launch in the summer of 2006, Savage 2: A Tortured Soul, will feature the same style of beautiful, expansive environments that immersed players in the critically acclaimed original. However, an enhanced combat system, animation features, and gameplay elements will purportedly catapult Savage 2 light years beyond its prequel.

From the same core team that conceptualized and created Savage, Savage 2: A Tortured Soul is promising much.  The sequel will feature enhanced character models, higher quality animations, bump mapping, realistic, reflective water effects, dynamic shadows, point lighting, and an enhanced particle/spell effect system.
