Just so you know, this game is practically invisible in the UK/Ireland. Usually games show up on Amazon.co.uk or Play.com months in advance of release and are available to preorder. The only reason I even know this game exists is because I post on a forum with a very large, international user base and I luckily happened upon a thread where it was mentioned with Divine Divinity. Basically, word of mouth is the only reason I know this game exists.
Differences in release dates between territories doesn't really concern me provided I know that it will be released eventually. However, it seems as if this is still up in the air with a UK publisher still TBA. What is of some concern is that this game is allegedly getting a September release in the rest of the EU and yet no publisher has been announced yet. The game has not been widely publicized or promoted over here and it doesn't appear in any online or high street retailer's inventory.
I feel that this is something that will hurt the developer more than anyone else. Are the developers aware of how low profile Divinity II is outside of Germany? For a game that I am assured is the best rpg since Morrowind and which looks triple A in every screenshot and trailer I have seen I have to say that this is very puzzling.
From what i could gather, the only international visibility on D2 (outside of germany) is on facebook/tweeter and youtube. When the game is released i'm sure review sites like gamespot,etc will make it somewhat more visible (Especialy if the score is + 85%).
But you are right, outside of that, no one can get much info about the game.
