Beyond Divinity demo to be
released next week
That’s right – soon the general
public will get their chance to see if Beyond Divinity lives up to its promises!
The Beyond Divinity demo is
scheduled for release online on march 3rd and will be simultaneously released in
French, German and English.
The demo contains the beginning of
the first act of Beyond Divinity and offers players a first sampling of all the
changes that were made to the Divinity engine.
Says Swen “Lar” Vincke, project
leader at Larian: ”I’m really curious to see how people will react to the demo.
We’ve been getting quite some positive feedback from the people we showed it to,
but you of course never know what the general public, and our fans in
particular, will think. I for one will be strapped to my PC come march 3rd as
the first reactions pop up on our forums.”
Weighing a healthy 168 Mb, the demo
will be available from a host of mirrors.

Divine Divinity, launched in 2002
was critically acclaimed for its depth and level of interactivity. In Beyond
Divinity, Larian Studios takes what made Divine Divinity so deeply appealing,
and pushes it one step further. Using an enhanced version of the original
engine, the final product delivers infinite character development, unparalleled
levels of interactivity, a wide variety of enemies; tons of quests and a brand
new combat system. By catering to all of these elements with equal levels of
importance, Beyond Divinity will truly deliver a total RPG experience.
In Beyond Divinity, you become
soul-forged with a Death Knight. Your fate is to spend the rest of eternity
bonded to this creature of evil, unless you can undo this curse. You and your
unlikely partner embark on a great adventure to unlock the secret of
rift-running … your only answer to this life of darkness.
Beyond Divinity is due for release
