Divinity Original Sin 2 heads to Xbox One, PS4 in August

Divinity Original Sin 2 heads to Xbox One and PS4 in August, developer Larian Studios and publisher Bandai Namco today confirmed.

Available on PC since last year, the title will be available on consoles both physically and digitally later this year.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 gives players the freedom of a sandbox RPG, encouraging improvisation and experimentation, with rules made to be bent rather than followed,” Bandai Namco said of the title.

“The game takes place in the world of Rivellon where players can go anywhere, talk to anyone (living, dead, or non-human), and fully interact with the game world like no other RPG. The game features six unique origin characters with full-fledged backstories, personalities, and questlines: Red Prince, a haughty but heroic lizard noble; Sebille, an elven assassin; Lohse, a possessed musician; Ifan ben-Mezd, a mercenary ex-soldier; Beast, a rebel-turned-pirate dwarf; and Fane, an undead member of the long-forgotten Eternal race”

The game’s UI has been tailored for console play in both four-player online co-op and two-player split-screen co-op modes.

“It was very important to us to have Divinity: Original Sin 2 distributed by a team that understands how to bring RPGs to a broad audience,” Swen Vincke, Founder and CEO of Larian Studios, said of the publishing arrangement with Bandai Namco. “With Dark Souls and The Witcher, Bandai Namco Entertainment demonstrated they know how to do exactly that and so I’m very happy we’ll have their support.”

Divinity: Original Sin 2 is currently available on Windows PC and heads to both Xbox One and PS4 in August 2018.
