Larian Studios has thrilled fans by confirming that Divinity, their upcoming role-playing game, will feature the beloved turn-based combat system. This announcement finally puts to rest the speculation that had been circulating among eager gamers.
A Return to Turn-Based Action
After Divinity’s official reveal at The Game Awards, fans were curious about whether the game would continue in the footsteps of 2023’s Baldur’s Gate 3 with turn-based mechanics or pivot towards a more action-oriented style. The confirmation of its turn-based system came from a Bloomberg interview featuring Larian’s CEO Swen Vincke.
Excitedly, Vincke shared, “This is going to be us unleashed, I think. It’s a turn-based RPG featuring everything you’ve seen from us in the past, but it’s brought to the next level.”
What to Expect from Divinity
Following the game’s much-anticipated announcement, Vincke engaged with the media to provide deeper insights into Divinity. Key highlights from these interactions include:
- Offering both single-player and cooperative multiplayer experiences, akin to Baldur’s Gate 3.
- Divinity has been in development for two years and is currently in full production.
- Larian owns the Divinity franchise, allowing creative freedom beyond the constraints of Dungeons & Dragons, which influenced Baldur’s Gate 3.
- It promises to be “bigger” than Baldur’s Gate 3.
