In January 2010, Divinity iI: Ego Draconis was released here in the US. The fantasy RPG from developer Larian Studios was quickly followed up by the announcement of an expansion pack, Flames of Vengeance, as well as a collection, Divinity II The Dragon Knight Saga, that has a remastered version of the original game and the Flames of Vengeance expansion.

Still with us? Ok. This week both Divinity II: Flames of Vengeance and Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga have been released via download at the game's official web site by publisher Focus Home Interactive and at download sites like Direct2Drive and Gamersgate with $19.95 for the expansion pack and $39.95 for the collection. The Steam download site just has Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga available but it has three exclusive in-game armor packs and a 33 percent discount for Steam owners of the original Divinity II game. Confusing? Yep.

Early in 2010 CDV released Divinity II, the fantasy RPG sequel from developer Larian Studios, here in the US. While CDV is basically no more here in this country, that isn't stopping Larian Studios from announcing plans for Divinity II The Dragon Knight Saga, a revamped version of the game with additional content.

Focus Home Interactive plans to publish the game in October in Europe but at the moment there's no word on a US release for the game. Divinity II The Dragon Knight Saga will include the original game but with improved graphics. It will also contain the new expansion pack Divinity II Flames of Vengeance.

Released in the US in early January, the fantasy RPG Divinity II from developer Larian Studios will be getting an expansion pack later this summer. Divinity II: Flames of Vengeance will be released for the PC (and also for the Xbox 360 via download) in August. The expansion pack will continue where the ending of the original game left off with the Dragon knight character continuing his quest to fight the evil in the game's world of Rivellon.

The press release promised that the expansion pack will add 15 more hours of gameplay. In addition the original game's graphics engine is supposed to get "a solid overhaul, improving performance and graphics quality along the way." CDV published Divinity II in the US but at the moment there's no word if they will do the same for the expansion.

For the first full week of 2010 we have just one all new game heading to store shelves. We will also be getting a new downloadable mini-campaign for Dragon Age: Origins.

Divinity II: Developer Larian Studios' fantasy RPG ships to US stores after previously been released in Europe. The game's setting allows players to control both human and dragon characters in an epic story. You can download a demo for the game right here at Big Download.

Thanks to the time in between Christmas and New Year's there are no current PC games that are scheduled to ship to stores or be released via download this week. We might see a downloadable expansion for Dragon Age: Origins come out (it was supposed to be released sometime during the holiday season) but that's looking unlikely.

If any games are released this week we will let you know about it during the week. Otherwise don't expect any new games to be shipped to stores until the first full week of 2010 when Larian Studios' Divinity 2 heads to stores in the US.
