| Riftrunner renamed to Beyond Divinity |
|
Larian Studios has issued a <a href="http://www.larian.com/riftrunner/press_release_beyonddivinity.php" target="_blank">press release</a> today confirming recent rumors (<a href="http://www.rpgdot.com/index.php?hsaction=10077&newsid=23837">story</a>) of a possible name change of their 'Divinity' universe based RPG 'Riftrunner'. The game has been renamed to 'Beyond Divinity' to make the link to 'Divine Divinity' more obvious. |

At least it's not "Beyond Beyondness". |

I rather liked the sound of "Riftrunner" as a name. Oh, well...

or Beyond The Divine Divide
Seriously, imo, Beyond Divinity sounds like the title of a post mortem(or something) article written by one of those gaming sites on Divine Divinity after it is released. |

Whats in a name? If I remember right,people whined about the name "Divine Divinity" when it was annouced as well,only to be treated to a really well made rpg....except for the ending. |

The "Divine Divinity" name probably scared off a good many potential customers, but "Sword of Lies" wasn't that great either, there's already a bazillion products/stories with "Sword of Whatever" titles. |

RiftRunner, opposite to that, would have been really a good name in its own right. And it would have fit better, of course, to what the game´s truly about: The Art of `Riftrunning´!
But noooooo - it has to be the Stupid Stupidity of the oh so merry `rename game´ again! 
"Making the name resemble a proximity to `Divinity´ better" is such a hollow motive! 
And the combination with "Beyond" makes such an empty phrase! 
But this time it seems to be the Larians themselves, "committing the crime"!
It´s just sad, so sad! 
Sorry for sounding so harsh, Larians, but there´s no other way to put it, IMHO. 
One would have just wished that they´d come up with at least a better "cover to not judge the game by" this time! 
Ragon, The Mage
P.S.: If they at least had only renamed it to Divinity: RiftRunner, that´d been an acceptable compromise!

| I think Beyond Divinity is a VERY cool title. |
|
Just my opinion, I'd rather be playing the game than arguing about the name, though.  |

Just marketing types thinking we are too stupid to know what game it is. |
