Developer Larian Studios has shared some exciting news: the studio’s critically-acclaimed turn-based RPG Divinity: Original Sin 2 is now available on Nintendo Switch 2, PS5 and Xbox Series!
“The Divine is dead. The Void approaches. And the powers lying dormant within you are soon to awaken. The battle for Divinity has begun. Choose wisely and trust sparingly; darkness lurks within every heart.”
Choose between four unique races – a flesh-eating Elf, an Imperial Lizard or an Undead, risen from the grave – and discover how the world reacts to your presence. Gather your party and developer relationships with your companions. Combine spells and abilities in a deep, tactical, turn-based combat. Use the environment as a weapon, use height to your advantage, and manipulate the elements themselves to seal your victory.
The developers have also shared a quick FAQ to bring players up to speed on the release:
- Do I have to have played the previous games in the Divinity series to play DOS:2? DOS: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!
- Do I need to play Divinity: Original Sin 2 ahead of the newly announced Divinity title? 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!
- Does Divinity: Original Sin 2 feature multiplayer? Yes! You can play alone, in online multiplayer, or with couch co-op.
- I already own DOS:2 on Switch, PS4, or Xbox One. How do I upgrade? Depending on your platform, you’ll need to navigate to their game store front and search for the DOS:2 Upgrade Pack, which you’ll be able to download for free! If you would like to upgrade your copy of Divinity: Original Sin 2 from Nintendo Switch to Nintendo Switch 2 or from PS4 to PS5 and are based in Japan, the upgrade will cost ¥100.
- Is DOS:2 a remaster? It’s not a remake or a remaster; this is your way to experience the classic DOS:2 on the current generation of consoles!
