Following the breakout success of Baldur’s Gate 3, Larian Studios is revisiting its past in Divinity, a new installment in the Divinity franchise that was revealed during The Game Awards. Now, Larian has revealed that the upcoming game will feature some characters and continuity from 2017’s Divinity: Original Sin 2.
Divinity: Original Sin 2 is now available for Nintendo Switch 2, Divinity: Original Sin 2, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. On Larian’s official site, the publisher noted that “Divinity will offer a completely new story, but there’s some continuity and characters for those who’ve played previous games. You might even pick up on certain things others may not.” It added that Original Sin 2 “is a standalone game and can be experienced on its own, but we will always recommend trying out Divinity: Original Sin for the best experience.”
Divinity: Original Sin 2’s new versions are available as a free update for anyone who previously purchased the game on that respective console by claiming the Upgrade Pack. However, Japanese players will have to pay ¥100 to upgrade Original Sin from Switch to Switch 2 and from PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5.
This sounds like an exciting development for fans of the original game! It’s great to see Larian Studios building on their previous success and continuing the story. Looking forward to seeing how the characters evolve!
Absolutely, it’s a fantastic move for fans! The continuity and character development from Original Sin 2 could really deepen the storytelling in the new title. Plus, it will be interesting to see how they blend familiar elements with fresh gameplay mechanics.
