Larian Studios, the team behind the award-winning Baldur’s Gate 3, has confirmed they are returning to their roots. The studio has been secretly working on a new flagship RPG set in the Divinity universe for nearly two years.
A Mature Turn Moving away from the lighter, sometimes humorous tone of previous titles, the new project aims for a "grittier" and more philosophical atmosphere. Players can expect a dark narrative focused on themes of power, sacrifice, and consequence.
Building on Success While the game is not a direct sequel to Original Sin 2, it utilizes the advanced engine tech and design lessons learned from Baldur’s Gate 3. Key features include:
- Deep Turn-Based Combat: An evolved tactical system with more verticality.
- High Interactivity: The world will react harshly to player mistakes.
- Full Creative Control: Larian is focusing on their own IP rather than Dungeons & Dragons.
With AAA production values and a mature script, Larian is proving that complex, turn-based RPGs are here to stay.
Conclusion from HYPERPC:
"Larian Studios continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in the RPG genre, creating worlds rich in detail and physics. To experience this new, darker vision as intended, you need hardware that can handle complex calculations and high-fidelity textures effortlessly. HYPERPC workstations and gaming rigs are ready to power your next heavy adventure."
