Divinity II - The Dragon Knight Saga
Demo now available for Xbox 360.
IRVINE, CALIFORNIA -- MARCH 24, 2011 -- Atlus U.S.A., Inc. today released a host of content and media for its upcoming action RPG Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga for Xbox®360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. Launching today on Xbox LIVE® Marketplace is the official Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga demo, which offers fans a taste of the game's 100-plus hours of action RPG combat and exploration. Also releasing today is the game's full trailer, offering a better sense of the dark cloud of conflict that looms over the realm of Rivellon, not to mention capturing the thrill of taking to the skies as an enormous dragon. Lastly, sample pages from The Art of Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga, the game's pre-order bonus art book, are now available for viewing enjoyment.
The demo released today takes players through the game's introduction, offering a sizeable portion of Rivellon's Broken Valley to explore. While the demo's handful of hours pale in comparison to the 100+ hours of action RPG excitement in the full game, there are plenty of quests to discover and complete, NPCs to interact with, merchants with whom to barter, and of course, monsters to slay. The demo serves as a balanced overture for curious fans and series newcomers, concluding just as it lets gamers transform into a dragon for the first time and rise into the skies of Rivellon.
Each and every launch copy of Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga includes a free soundtrack CD featuring 21 tracks from composer Kirill Pokrovsky's heroic fantasy score. In addition to the game and bonus CD, fans who pre-order at a participating retailer will also get The Art of Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga, a 52-page, full color art book (7.5" wide x 5.25" tall) featuring spectacular creature and world designs from the game. The entire set can be had for only $39.99, but pre-order bonus quantities are limited so fans are advised to reserve their copy as soon as possible!

About Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga
The long-besieged realm of Rivellon continues to be plagued by strife and conflict. Decades ago, the divine prophet of a holy order was murdered by a Dragon Knight. Blessed with superhuman power and the ability to transform into their namesake and take to the skies with the might of fire to aid them, these Knights suddenly became outcasts in Rivellon, condemned for the killing of the holy order's leader. Hunted mercilessly by Slayers, followers of the Divine now vigilantly committed to avenging the assassination of their prophet, the Knights soon became scarce.
During the final attack that would result in the extermination of the Dragon Knights, you-a lone Slayer separated from your group, stumble upon a dying Knight. With her final breath, she grants you her abilities, insisting that all is not as it seems. You arise the last living Dragon Knight, shunned by your former Slayer allies, gifted with supernatural powers, and tasked with
exploring the true nature of your age-old conflict...
