GOG Partering with Larian for Divinity: Original Sin and Dragon Commander Pre-orders and Live Q&A

That GOG.com is going to offer Divinity: Dragon Commander and Original Sin for pre-order is not a surprise considering the focus of the store, but what makes the press release the GOG folks have sent us so interesting is that apparently they’re also going to host a “live pre-order Q&A” on Google Hangout, which will also reveal a code that fans will be able to use to apply a discount on their pre-order.

Here’s the full press release:

GOG.com and Larian partner up on Divinity world games; announce live preorder Q&A

DIGITAL DISTRIBUTOR TO CARRY PREORDERS FOR DRAGON COMMANDER & WILL PROVIDE DRM-FREE COPIES OF DIVINITY: ORIGINAL SIN TO KICKSTARTER BACKERS.

GOG.com, DRM-free digital purveyor of all that’s good in gaming, has announced today that they will be partnering up with Larian games on their next two release titles: Divinity: Dragon Commander and Divinity: Original Sin, kicking things off with a live Google+ Hangout On Air Q&A session on Wednesday, 10 April 2013 at 2:00 GMT (10:00 AM EDT), which will reveal new gameplay footage of the game and have a special code for $2 off the preorder for anyone who watches the Hangout On Air.

Divinity: Dragon Commander is an adrenaline-fueled mix of strategy and dragon-on-dragon combat, set in the Divinity universe that Larian has developed across its award-winning RPG series. As emperor over a land divided by bitter political struggles between factions, you must command your armies, lead your forces from astride the magnificent war machine that is your dragon, balance the needs of different peoples in your lands, and even decide on the best political alliances and marriages to undertake to secure your rule. For anyone who loves their grand strategy games with a dash of madcap adrenaline, Dragon Commander is a sure-fire pick, and preorders will start on 10 April 2013 at 3:00 GMT (11:00 AM EDT) after the Q&A session on Google+ is finished. During the Google+ Hangout on Air, Larian Studios will be revealing a code good for an additional $2.00 off the preorder price (for a total savings of $6.99) to everyone who watches the stream. Dragon Commander will be available for preorder on GOG.com for $39.99 during preorders, which will launch on the 10th of April. Check out GOG.com’s Google+ page to watch the stream.

Divinity: Original Sin, currently on Kickstarter seeking some additional funding, is a compelling RPG that, according to studio founder Swen Vincke, is the game that Larian was created to make. GOG.com will be providing backers with DRM-free copies on GOG.com, if interested, and backers of Original Sin at $65 will also receive a copy of Divinity: Dragon Commander once it launches.
