Larian Studios has unveiled its latest project, “Divinity,” at The Game Awards 2025, marking a new installment in the acclaimed fantasy RPG franchise. In conjunction with this announcement, the studio has also launched “Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition” on current-generation consoles, including PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series S|X. While the title had previously been available on last-gen consoles, the new native version promises enhanced performance and gameplay experiences.
For players who already own “Divinity: Original Sin 2,” Larian has provided a streamlined upgrade path. Depending on the console, existing users can follow specific guidelines to download the latest version for free. Those without the game installed, wishing to revisit or experience it on a newer platform, can find the upgrade option directly on the store page for their respective consoles. Notably, players in Japan who wish to upgrade from a Nintendo Switch to a Nintendo Switch 2 or from a PlayStation 4 to a PlayStation 5 will incur a nominal fee of ¥100.
Originally launched in 2018, the Definitive Edition expanded on the base game which was already celebrated as one of the greatest computer RPGs of all time. Critics have consistently praised “Divinity: Original Sin 2,” with Wccftech awarding it an impressive score of 9.6 out of 10. The review highlighted the game’s expertly crafted narrative and characters, noting that Larian Studios delivered a virtually flawless experience with refined gameplay and engaging multiplayer options, solidifying the title’s legacy among the best in the genre.
Despite its acclaim, “Divinity: Original Sin 2” has seen a shift in spotlight with the release of “Baldur’s Gate 3,” another title from Larian Studios. However, the new entry, “Divinity,” invites both newcomers and returning players to immerse themselves in the rich lore of Rivellon. Larian has assured fans that while the upcoming game will be accessible to new players, those familiar with earlier installments will appreciate the continuity and character connections embedded in the narrative.
As it stands, Larian Studios continues to build on its reputation for creating immersive worlds filled with complex characters and engaging stories. The launch of “Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition” on next-gen consoles not only signifies the enduring popularity of the franchise but also prepares fans for the exciting developments ahead with the upcoming title. With the RPG landscape continually evolving, Larian’s commitment to quality storytelling and gameplay remains paramount as they look to the future of the series.
