According to this GamersHell story, the beta’s gone live for GPG’s Demigod.

There’s more through there. The PC strategy thing releases next February.

Leipziger Messe’s announced that Gas Powered Games’ Chris Taylor is to keynote GCDC this year with a talk about upcoming RPG/RTS, Demigod.

“Our goal is to present keynote speakers that inspire our attendees, while providing valuable insight into the changing landscape of the games industry,” said GCDC boss Frank Sliwka. “Chris Taylor’s participation takes the already content rich conference program to a higher level and makes GCDC an absolute must-attend event.”

Taylor’s keynote will be given on August 20, ahead of the Leipzig Games Convention.

Please be good. Gas Powered Games has released a first proper trailer of Demigod, its upcoming fantasy RTS. See it after the link.

The game was moved into 2009 back in April, but we’re prepared to wait if it means breaking up little people with giant people on god-ish battlefields.

See for yourself. PC-only at the moment, but console versions are likely.

Over at GamersHell. It looks very much like a PC strategy title to us, which is good, because that’s what it is.

The game was pushed back to Feb 2009 recently, but it’s going to be worth it from the look of it.

Go see.

Stardock will publish Gas Powered Games’ Demigod, according to a press release you can find after the link, which will now hit in February 2009 as opposed to “late 2008″.

Aside from the slip, great news arrives in the fact that the game will ship with no DRM at all. From the announcement:

To fully support a public beta that will launch this summer, the launch date for Demigod has been moved to February 2009. This will give the development team sufficient time to incorporate feedback from the beta players while polishing the game. Like Stardock’s other games, Demigod will be released without any on-disc copy protection and has been budgeted to receive many months of free post-release feature updates.

Gas Powered Games’ Chris Taylor has said that team-based strategy PC title Demigod is likely to end up on consoles after it releases later this year.

“That is actually up in the air,” said Taylor with regards to Demigod’s PC exclusivity. “You could easily see that on the console. That’s got a very high likelihood of going to console.”

He also backed up comments made by Sega at CES that upcoming PC action-RPG Space Siege is also in discussions for console versions, refusing to rule out versions other than the PC game.

“There’s been no official word,” Taylor said. “No definite there… Anything can happen of course, in the future.”
