The biggest announcement in GOG.com's history is a fact! Electronic Arts grants access to its deep back catalogue of classic franchises via yours truly GOG.com!

In a ground-breaking, earthshaking, and jaw-dropping deal we've managed to sign with EA and will be releasing more than 25 legendary classics from the globally renowned publisher. With today’s announcement three widely known and much awaited brands get the revival treatment from GOG.com: Wing Commander: Privateer, Dungeon Keeper and Ultima Underworld 1+2.

We will be adding more than 25 titles from EA over the next few months, so the games will be unveiled gradually, but we can already reveal that the next upcoming titles from this huge deal are: Crusader: No remorse, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri and Magic Carpet.

While the agreement between Electronic Arts and GOG.com brings back many acclaimed and well known franchises, it doesn’t include the much anticipated System Shock or Syndicate series at this time. After releasing the first six Electronic Arts classics, we will take a break from the concentrated awesome until later in the summer.

Purebreed: I must admit, Crusader is the series of games I'm looking forward to the most. Why no has made an up to date sequel of those games is beyond me.
They were starting to work on developing Crusader 2 after they released No Regret. I still have my official guide books for No Remorse and No Regret. They were going to create a new engine and they showed some conceptual art for Crusader 2. Too bad they never got going on it.

Gamerlord: GOG. You seem to have forgotten something.
Something veeeeeeeeeeeery important.
Hint" It starts with "y" and ends with "ou forgot to release a game today."
Unless there was an announcement I missed about them not releasing one today?
Technically they say they'll officially release 1 game a week, it just happens that 99% of the time it's on Tuesday; but there have been a few times that it was released on Thursday. :)

That's awesome! I grabbed the Crusader Collection big box (in mint condition, btw) off Ebay a couple of years ago. I demand a sequel!!! =)

Its a pity they (not sure who) scrapped the psp version that was being made.

simoco: I really hope to see Clive Barker's Undying released soon.
That's the one I care about the most. I bought it awhile on on disc and I never could get it to work, then it just disappeared

It's kind of a tossup for me between Wing Commander: Privateer and SMAC. Neither is necessarily a game that you'd associate with great storytelling, but I loved 'em both.

When my wallet will be full again, WC:P, SMAC and Crusader it is then :)
Awesome addition GoG. Thank you for saving these classics from the clutches of abandonware. I will however be holding off until the expansions are included. Sorry, but Alpha Centauri and Privateer just gotta have the expansions to be complete in my book.

Don't make me wait too long guys. ;)
Hopefully the entire Bullfrog catalog. With an emphasis on SYNDICATE!!!!!!!!!

Would agree that SMAC and WC:P would be my top pics out of this catalogue release so far, but "Crusader: No Remorse" has probably got the strongest story between them.

SMAC has a pretty interesting story too it's just not story driven if you take my meaning.

Just to make sure, so Ultima doesnt have good story?
