Divinity 2 Ego Draconis: Dragons in sight
Hamburg, September 17, 2008 Journalists attending this year's Leipzig Games Convention had the very first chance to see a new feature of the upcoming RPG highlight Divinity 2 Ego Draconis being unveiled: the ability of the player character to transform into a Dragon.
In Divinity 2 Ego Draconis, players begin their adventure as apprentice Dragon Slayers who, after a bizarre twist of fate, will be able to shape-shift into a Dragon, so becoming mighty Dragon Knights, the very creatures they were supposed to chase. This puts them at odds with their former brothers in arms and indeed most of the population of Rivellon.
For this is where the tale takes place: Rivellon, the beautiful but war torn world first explored in Divine Diviniy 2's award winning predecessor.
Much has happened there since, but the death of the Divine 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.
Divinity 2 Ego Draconis begins years later, near the village of Broken Valley where a Dragon has been sighted and players are ordered to start the hunt. But the battle plan goes awry and soon they will find themselves infused with the power of Dragons.
Not only does this event enable them to take the Dragon form at will and unleash a variety of unique powers, it also sets them on an unexpected quest that will unveil hidden truths, reveal old evils and shall have grave implications for the whole of Rivellon.
Divinity 2 Ego Draconis, developed by Larian Studios and published by dtp entertainment, will be released in Q2 2009 for PC and Xbox 360®. Divinity 2 offers next gen, story based RPG entertainment.
