Going from a dragon-slaying human to a fire-breathing dragon is an odd stretch but a prime premise in the upcoming action-RPG, Divinity II. A new trailer was released to help bridge the gap of confusion for gamers wondering how you slay dragons even though you become one.

The dragon transformation is necessary for getting around the game’s spacious environments and battling some of the game’s equally vicious flying foes. The trailer doesn’t entirely explain how the protagonist attains the ability to transform into a dragon, but given the description in the video it sounds like he slept with a dragon and was able to turn into a dragon. Creepy stuff, no doubt.

You can check out the new trailer for the game below to see how Dragon Knights lay the smack down on evil dictators. Divinity II: Ergo Draconis is due out on January 5th, 2010 for the Xbox 360 and PC.
