Overview
- Following the Game Awards reveal, Vincke advises that newcomers need not play older Divinity titles, though the new game will reference Original Sin and earlier entries like Divine Divinity and Ego Draconis.
- For players drawn to Baldur’s Gate 3’s tactical combat or co‑op, Vincke points to Divinity: Original Sin 2 as the best prep, while saying prior games are largely unnecessary for cinematic‑narrative fans.
- Vincke explains the team left Dungeons & Dragons work because they weren’t excited by it, framing a creative return to Larian’s own Rivellon universe as a better fit for the studio’s ambitions.
- Reporting says Larian will not develop the next Baldur’s Gate sequel, with Wizards of the Coast previously indicating a successor is planned without naming a developer or timeline.
- Coverage describes the new Divinity as a major, turn‑based RPG with a likely Early Access phase and no release date yet, and Vincke says the cinematic, mature trailer’s tone aligns with premium TV rather than shock value.
