Larian Studios Confirms Turn-Based RPG for Divinity: A New Adventure
The Game Awards 2025 brought an exciting announcement from Larian Studios, the developers behind Baldur's Gate 3. They revealed a new entry in their beloved Divinity series, a franchise that has captivated fans since 2002 with its turn-based RPG gameplay. But here's the twist: despite the studio's success with Baldur's Gate 3, they're doubling down on their roots.
In a recent interview with Bloomberg, Larian's founder and creative director, Swen Vincke, confirmed that the upcoming Divinity game will indeed be a turn-based RPG. This news comes as a relief to fans who feared the studio might venture into uncharted territories. Vincke assured fans that the game will build upon Larian's signature style, offering a massive scale and an immersive experience.
"This is going to be us unleashed," Vincke said. "It's a turn-based RPG featuring everything you've seen from us in the past, but it's brought to the next level."
The Divinity series has a rich history, starting with Divine Divinity in 2002 and continuing with Beyond Divinity, Divinity II, Divinity: Original Sin, and the critically acclaimed Divinity: Original Sin 2, which recently launched on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Switch. However, it was Baldur's Gate 3 that propelled Larian to new heights, despite not being an original IP.
Now, with the Divinity franchise back in the spotlight, fans are eager to explore this new adventure. While a release date is yet to be announced, Vincke hinted at an early access release before the 1.0 launch, allowing players to dive into the world of Divinity sooner rather than later.
