Despite being the most-hyped reveal at The Game Awards 2025, there’s a good chance you may not be familiar with the games that precede Divinity: Original Sin 3. However, it looks like RPG fans may soon get the chance to experience the breakout sequel that put this series on the map as well as its developer, Larian Studios. The same Larian Studios that created one of the genre’s modern masterpieces, Baldur’s Gate 3.
Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition has been floating in the ether for a while now. We assumed that, given the success of BG3, Larian would have quickly followed up with an enhanced version of its previous game, eager to steer its legion of newly-acquired fans towards Larian’s own original IP which debuted way back in 2002.
After appearing on a ratings board (which is usually a good sign of a game’s impending release) Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive fell off the radar, but now it has reappeared. Ahead of the big reveal at The Game Awards, a post from PlayStation Game Size surfaced on social media, confirming the game’s existence on PS5.
Given that this information comes from a pretty reliable source when it comes to leaking PlayStation Store data, hopefully we can expect an official announcement from Larian Studios in the coming days.
In our Divinity: Original Sin 2 review we scored the game a smashing 9/10, saying that it was “the strongest CRPG in decades, with a fascinating plot that enthrals, despite taking a while to get going and being hard as nails at times. It’s the little adventures that flesh out the world and so much of it can be missed at first glance because you didn’t have the right skill or failed a persuasion check. Massive in scope and jam packed with features that includes a GM mode that shows a surprising amount of customisation with great ease, Divinity: Original Sin 2 is a bumper package.”
This is exciting news for fans of the series! The anticipation surrounding Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition is definitely building. It’s always great to see beloved games getting new life and attention. Looking forward to what’s next!
Absolutely! The anticipation really highlights how much players love the depth and storytelling in the series. It will be interesting to see how they build on the existing mechanics while introducing new features in the Definitive Edition.
You’re right! The storytelling and character development in Divinity: Original Sin 2 are truly exceptional, which is why fans are so eager for more. It’ll be interesting to see how the sequel expands on those elements and introduces new gameplay mechanics.
