Divinity II: Ego Draconis New trailer movies give sneak preview on the huge storyline

Hamburg/Germany, July 3rd, 2009 This is a very personal way to bring some light into dark secrets that surround the background story of dtp entertainment's and Larian Studios' upcoming RPG highlight Divinity II: Ego Draconis:

In a couple of new videos, mysterious Dragon Knight Talana (voiced by Sally Wallis) exposes, why Dragons and Humans are at war with each other and how evil Damian, after his original defeat, managed to reunite his forces to again threaten the world of Rivellon. If you look carefully, you may even pick up on some secret details about Talana's very personal role in that whole story...

Today, publisher dtp entertainment and developer Larian Studios release the first of three upcoming Divinity II background story videos. Watch it on www.divinity2.com.

Divinity II: Ego Draconis takes the player back to Rivellon, more than half a century after the Divine came to power. Much has happened there since, but the death of the Divine the hero of the previous game is undoubtedly the greatest tragedy. He was slain by a Dragon Knight during a battle with Damian, Rivellon's arch nemesis. The Divine's paladins swore revenge and so the order of the Dragon Slayers came to be.

Rivellon, the beautiful but war-torn world first explored in Divinity II's award-winning predecessor, features many areas and labyrinths for the player to explore. This world is the home of plenty of non-player characters, offering a multitude of quests and storylines or just the latest gossip. Because of the branched quest system, the player's decisions can have far-reaching consequences. The player can shapehift between human and dragon forms to bring a whole new dimension to your ability to explore the world, as well as many more combat options. Rain firey death from above as an airborne dragon, or get up close and personal with sword, bow or magic as a human.

The player is set on an unexpected quest that will unveil hidden truths and revive forgotten evils which will change the face of Rivellon forever.

Divinity II: Ego Draconis, developed by Larian Studios and published by dtp entertainment, will be released in September 2009 (Germany/Austria/Switzerland only: July 24th, 2009) for PC and the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. Divinity II offers next gen, story-based RPG entertainment.
