Divinity 2 - English Release on Jan 5th?

A new US preview of Divinity II is up at Kotaku, based on a demo from Swen Vincke who showed them a scenario many of our readers will have seen before.  Of more interest is the release date and online options at the end of the article - though it's not exactly official, of course:

Overall, I enjoyed my time with Ego Draconis. Even running the Xbox 360 version on my standard definition TV was a smooth (if less vibrant) experience, and it looks to be a solid RPG experience. And without that pesky good-and-evil dichotomy to worry about, I'm really looking forward to tearing around the fictional world as a dragon to see how many things I can wreck or upset with my fireball breath.

Too bad you can't turn into a dragon inside of most buildings.

Look for it on Steam, Impulse and shelves (in Xbox 360 form) January 5.
