Divinity: Original Sin 2 gets surprise release on Switch 2, PS5 & Xbox Series X|S

Hot off the announcement of their next game, Larian has brought Divinity: Original Sin 2 to modern consoles.

Last week, Larian Studios revealed Divinity as its next game with a visceral first trailer. Today, the studio is bringing the latest entry in the series to modern consoles as Divinity: Original Sin 2 has gotten a release on Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Larian Studios announced the surprise release of Divinity: Original Sin 2 to modern consoles with a new trailer. Described by Larian CEO Swen Vincke as the “spiritual predecessor” to Baldur’s Gate 3, Divinity: Original Sin 2 features turn-based combat, a branching storyline, and a wide range of customization. It was originally released in 2018 for PC before getting ported to the PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch in later years.

Owners of Divinity: Original Sin 2 can upgrade to the new version on all platforms at no additional cost (except for Switch 2 users in Japan, who will need to pay 100 Yen).

This news comes just days after Larian Studios announced Divinity as its next game. In a new FAQ, the studio confirmed that while the new Divinity will be a standalone story, there will be “some continuity and characters for those who’ve played previous games.”
