GOG.com and EA sign pact, launch class EA catalogue titles

3 June 2011

Turns out GOG.com and EA’s grand high wizards have been in secret conclave, negotiating a puissant alliance to join forces against the encroaching tides of evil, and also to release a bunch of stuff from EA’s back catalogue of classic games.

The fun gets into gear today, with the launch of Wing Commander: Privateer, Dungeon Keeper, and Ultima Underworld 1 and 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,” writes whoever is responsible for writing big announcements on GOG.com’s site.

“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.”

CRUSADER: NO REMORSE, GUYS!
