Here's your weekly Message From GOG!

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a Friday! Yes, it's the sweet day of release. It took whole six day worth of waiting, but it arrived. And since it's Friday, here's a new episode of This Week on GOG, a short video guide to recent events, promos, and other happenings on the site. By the way, if you haven't already, you might want to follow the GOG.com channel on YouTube, so you don't miss our shows, specials, and exclusive trailers.

This Week on GOG episode 35

Still more to come from us today, keep an eye out for the final B-Day giveaway announcement. Also, check out our Entertaining Interplay weekend promo, and have a nice weekend! :-)

Kyrandia sequels sound more than good enough for me. The rest of Westwood's roster hopefully won't be far behind.

Wait, Giana Sisters is pronounced with a 'J' sound? I always thought it was a G like in Geoffrey, like, from when I had it on a dodgy C90 tape with a bunch of other stuff for the C64!

I agree, the hint sounds like Kyrandia

Me too, with Nox and Lands of Lore already here, I guess only remains the RTS titles (the Dune ones probably will be problematic because of the extra licensing necessary)

If the dunes can come here, that would be fantastic. Not that I've actually played any of them. But I want to :)

Agree with the hint guessers about Kyrandia 2.

tfishell: Isn't next week suppose to be the Grand Finale of GOG's birthday celebration?
I'm pretty sure it won't be as exciting as people think it might be, although I'm still curious.

We now have an expert on our team. Namely, a person who worked at the Black Forest Games while the original Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams was being developed. She says that it's nothing like TET pronounces it ;-) So yeah, probably "G". ;-)

You're quite right. It's still quite some time until the party's over ;-)

Ah, okay, good to know. Fingers crossed it's a new publisher! (But if it isn't, please don't overhype us. ;)

That one. [A somewhat hidden gem (overshadowed by C&C series in terms of Westwood) that it is not currently available elsewhere - and it is #12 on the wishlist, too! Licensing, though ... ].

Licensing should not be an issue, the film is older then I am.
By now it just wants people to remember it existed in the morning.

Eye of the Beholder and Blade Runner would be cool

The hint is definitely Legend of Kyrandia 3 Malcolm's Revenge. Everything about the hint is about the third game of the series and on the Westwood hint applies to the second game. This leads me to conclude that either:

Kyrandia 3 is being released before Kyrandia 2 for some reason

-or-

Kyrandia 2 is being released as part of Kyrandia 3. The original retail version of Kyrandia 3 came with Kyrandia 2 as a bonus. I suspect Kyrandia 2 could be released as a bonus download.

I'd find it odd that GOG would release a Kyrandia 2 and 3 bundle, but of course it would be nice. 1 & 2 are normally bundled together, so since we didn't see that here (odd), I assume they're going to be released separately.

Commandos is separate from 2+3 so it wouldn't be a first for them.

"It would be ever so scrumptious." :D That just made my night.
