• 'Forever cherished for who you were and what you helped achieve': 10 years after his death, Larian Studios pays tribute to composer Kirill Pokrovsky - 6 June 2025

  It's hard to believe that it's been 10 years since Divinity composer Kirill Pokrovsky died unexpectedly at the age of 53 . I still remember being shocked by the news: Pokrovsky was one of my favorite videogame composers, and he was a high-profile presence at Larian Studios, having created the music for every game the studio ever made up to Divinity: Original Sin—including The LED Wars, the one only true die-hards have ever heard of...

• Larian insists it did not accidentally leak Divinity: Original Sin 3, it was just a glitch on X - 23 May 2025

  There was a brief surge of excitement a couple days ago when Larian Studios temporarily changed its handle on X from @ larianstudios to @divinity. This was a big deal (or at least it appeared to be) because prior to hitting the big big time with Baldur's Gate 3 , Larian was known as the studio behind the very long-running Divinity series of mostly-RPGs—and the name change had an awful lot of fans thinking that maybe the studio was going back to its roots for its next big game...

• Baldur's Gate 3 dev's essential breakout RPG is 80% off right now - 21 March 2024

  Before Baldur's Gate 3, developer Larian Studios made the Divinity series. Starting with Divine Divinity back in 2002, what began as a more Diablo style action RPG with CRPG elements inspired by the likes of BioWare's Baldur's Gate 2 would eventually become Divinity Original Sin , a turn-based RPG built on Larian's own systems that proved so popular it inspired a sequel and ultimately led to the studio being chosen as the team that would be handed the Dungeons and Dragons license to bring us the long-awaited Baldur's Gate 3. Now, you can experience the breakout game at a huge discount. Read the rest of the story...

• Divinity Original Sin 3 is "definitely" coming after Baldur's Gate 3 - 28 July 2023

  With Baldur's Gate 3 agonizingly within touching distance now, the founder of developer Larian Studios says the team will definitely look to return to its defining universe in the future. The success of Divinity Original Sin saw Larian selected to build the much-anticipated Baldur's Gate 3 after the popular reception to its outstanding RPG games , and Swen Vincke says he'd love to return to Larian's self-created universe - but not for a while yet.

• Divinity: Original Sin the Board Game perfectly transports the RPG series to your tabletop - 23 December 2019

  When I first saw that developer Larian was Kickstarting a board game adaptation of its acclaimed RPG series, I was skeptical. Don’t get me wrong, I love both Original Sin games . But if you’ve followed the tabletop scene at all over the last decade you’ll know that you can barely move these days for beefy, crowdfunded fantasy dungeon crawlers full of miniatures, cards, and tokens. How could a Divinity board game stand out from the crowd? As it turns out, the same way the digital games do—with creativity, a quirky eye for detail, and most importantly lots of stuff catching fire. For my hands-on demo, I join a party of four adventurers. Structurally it’s all familiar—we each pick a character, with cards and tokens defining our classes and abilities, and head out on an adventure. An accompanying book guides things, setting up the story with passage…

• The best RPGs on PC in 2019 - 11 October 2019

  Look! A ranking of the 50 best RPGs on PC. I know, you never asked for this, but here it is. It is 100 percent correct, we double-checked. The RPG is a broad and deep sea and fishing out the best games from its characterful waters is no easy task. But we are capable fishers on the good ship RPS, and know when to humanely throw back a tiddler or fight to heave up a monster. Enough of this salty metaphor. Here are the 50 best RPGs you can play on PC today. (more…)

• Larian Studios is making Baldur's Gate 3! - 7 June 2019

  https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F6879350%2Fefae40f8bd6433f68df84a744c5e787704d37abe.png The Gazette prides itself on bringing you the latest and greatest breaking news about all things Larian, and the insider stories that go with it. Yesterday‘s headline was the show-stopping, heart-pounding revelation that “LARIAN STUDIOS IS MAKING BALDUR’S GATE 3!” A teaser trailer of our new role-playing game was unveiled yesterday, and it was so spectacularly intense that the internet went into auto-censorship mode. In case you missed it - and you have the stomach for it - you can find the uncut version here: https://youtu.be/OcP0WdH7rTs The Gazette was more than a little intrigued by the mind flayer invasion of Baldur’s Gate.

• Larian may be teasing Baldur's Gate 3, not Divinity: Original Sin 3 - 30 May 2019

  E3 is coming, as you may have heard. And speaking of the number 3, Divinity developer Larian Studios appears to have something cooking over on its website , as seen above. What could it be? Is Larian simply reminding us that E3 is coming, and expressing hope that everyone has a good time? Or is there maybe some other three it could be referring to? Three, three, what could it be? The obvious guess is Divinity: Original Sin 3. Earlier this year, Larian revealed that it is working on a tactical RPG called Divinity: Fallen Heroes , but when you turn a 15-year-old niche RPG series into a major franchise with two tremendously successful releases in a row and then throw a huge-ass "III" on your website two weeks before the biggest gaming show in North America, well, people are probably going to make some assumptions. But that's not the end of the story. Original Sin 3 is obviously a poss…

• How Larian Studios skirted bankruptcy before making Divinity: Original Sin - 6 April 2018

  This article was originally published in PC Gamer issue 316 . For more quality articles about all things PC gaming, you can subscribe now in the UK and the US .   Larian Studios is, for now, the Divinity: Original Sin studio. Its last two games, both Kickstarted and publisher-free, are the biggest successes the studio has ever seen. The Belgian developer didn’t go from obscurity to success, however, and it has been designing notable RPGs and strategy games, within and without the Divinity universe, for over two decades.  Founder Swen Vincke picks 1997 as the year when Larian started, and an RTS called LED Wars as the studio’s first game, though there had been some experiments and projects before that. Indeed, one of them, The Lady, the Mage and the Knight, had many of the hallmarks of today’s Original Sin series, 20 years before it made its debut.  &#…

• What it's like to finish both Divinity: Original Sin games with a friend - 7 February 2018

  What an absolutely mad idea Larian had. Of all the solitary, longform, completely-not-appropriate-for-couchplay gaming experiences I can think of, old school isometric RPGs sit teetering at the top of Mount Impractical. And yet somehow—somehow—I played through two Divinity: Original Sin games, start to finish, with the same friend sitting next to me.  And we’ll always treasure those 100-odd hours, too. It’s just that we choose never to speak about it. Or make eye contact. Round one Our first mistake was to both choose archer builds at the beginning of Original Sin. Honestly, we didn’t realise quite how challenging the combat was going to be, and how important a well-balanced party is when you’re beset by sentient gargoyles and poisonous gases. It’s rarely just a group of angry chaps in Divinity, is it? Anyway, it was all fun and game…

• RPGs may never top Ultima 7, but Divinity: Original Sin 2 comes close - 23 October 2017

  It’s no secret that from the start, the Divinity series has had its sights set on respectfully dethroning Ultima 7. "Everything out there after Ultima 7 never did it as good as Ultima 7," Larian founder Swen Vincke once said . It's for RPGs what The Secret Of Monkey Island is to adventures, what Doom is to shooters, and what Shakespeare is to English literature, and not just because it's the last time a game was able to get away with 'thou', 'doth' and the rest of ye olde English without the world justifiably taking yonder piss with a catheter. It hasn't been an easy road. The first Divinity game suffered from trying to do Ultima 7 without the lessons of first making Ultima 1-6. The passion was there, but the time wasn't right. Similarly, later games soon set a trend of having phenomenal ideas—psychic powers, turning into a dragon, b…

• 7 must-watch speedruns from Summer Games Done Quick 2017 - 7 July 2017

  Summer Games Done Quick isn't over yet, but there's already a Mad Max-style trail of demolished games lying in its wake. Doom? Destroyed. Half-Life 2? The bastards skipped the best parts . Dark Souls 3? Completely humiliated. In fact, few PC games have walked away from the event with their dignity intact. Speedrunners are a savage group. This year has had a fantastic showing of PC games—many of which have never been run at the event before. There's the return of some old classics which, while fun, we've already covered at Awesome Games Done Quick 2017 and SGDQ 2016 . But, this year, we're calling out some new contenders you should be sure to watch.  Dropping it like it's hot in Divinity: Original Sin  Time: 23 min 47 sec Let's start strong with my favorite speedrun from SGDQ 2017. This is Divinity: Original Sin's first showing at…

• The Joy Of Expansions And Enhanced Editions - 29 December 2015

  As the year draws toward its final frosty furlong, I’m slightly surprised that one of the games I’m most looking forward to playing is also one of my favourite games from 2014. It’s Divinity: Original Sin , a game that I adored when I played it last year and that I expect to lose myself in again when the Enhanced Edition comes out next week. It’s not the only RPG that I’ll have revisited this year – both Pillars of Eternity and The Witcher 3 sucked me in at release and then lost me for a while when I realised they were going to require weeks of attention, but I used their expansions as an excuse to pick up where I’d left off. Here are five reasons to love digital expansions. …

• Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition released for Mac, Linux and SteamOS - 24 December 2015

  Divinity: Original Sin no colon Enhanced Edition is now out on Mac, Linux, and that newfangled SteamOS, meaning you can play it on that fancy Steam Box your mum's getting you for Christmas. I wasn't supposed to tell you that. Oops. Here, let me distract you with the news that Larian have updated the PC game so it's "in synch with the Mac & Linux version", oh and they've also "fixed a number of stability issues reported by players". That certainly sounds like a sensible thing to be doing. I'm getting Divinity for Christmas, and I'm quite excited after hearing people banging on about it for months and months. The game made it onto our Best RPGs of All-Time list, so I'm blaming PC Gamer if I think it's rubbish.

• The RPG Scrollbars: The Scrolls of Honour 2015 - 14 December 2015

  As the dragons finally return to their nests to hibernate and the ghosts don their chains to help remind misers of the meaning of the season, we approach the end of another year. As is tradition, that is time for we at the guild-house to award both quests and questers the ceremonial Scrolls of Honour . (Chorus of affordable angels) Scribed upon only the finest vellum in ink taken from a particularly recalcitrant octopus from the Abyssal Depths, they are a testament to skill and imagination and occasional disappointments that mean exactly nothing whatsoever except that I have a column and so I can hand out whatever made-up crap takes my fancy. Lo! We begin! …

• The Beginner s Guide: A Journey Through Genres - 3 November 2015

  One day I’ll write a Desert Island Discs about the games I’d keep with me until the end of days, given a choice of ten. It’ll no doubt be a Desert Island Digital Downloads given the absence of physical media in my life. I live with the ghosts of entertainment. Rather than compiling the list of games I’d take to the Vault with me though, today I’m aiming to put together a collection, one from each genre, that I’d use to introduce those genres to a PC gaming newcomer, or a lapsed gamer. A friend inspired this particular bundle of joy, someone who grew up with an Amiga but developed other interests and hasn’t touched a game for more than a few minutes at a time, either console or PC, for over fifteen years. A recent illness has left him unable to engage in his usual outdoor hobbies and games have filled the gap. …

• The Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition EULA contains a surprise - 28 October 2015

  Every videogame has an EULA—End User License Agreement—and nobody reads them. And before you leap into the comments to expound on the unflinching attention you pay to the fine print, yes, I know that some people do give them the once-over before clicking the button that allows the action to proceed. But it's a tiny portion of the gamer population who bothers with them. I certainly don't. And because of that, I, along with just about everyone else, missed out on a little something being cooked up by Divinity: Original Sin developer Larian Studios. Larian revealed today that it performed "a little experiment" with the Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition EULA, just to see if anyone read it. "Our EULA on Steam included the following phrase: '16. Special Consideration. A special consideration in material or immaterial form may be awarded to the first 100 authorized licensees…

• Larian unveils the Divinity: Original Sin "Enhanced Changelist" - 27 October 2015

  We got a look at the major changes being made in Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition last week by way of a handy overview video that touched on the important points. But for those of you who prefer to get down and dirty in the details, Larian Studios has now posted a far more detailed breakdown of what's been done to the game. It is "the Enhanced Changelist," as the studio described it, and it is ridiculously long. It's so long, in fact—10,000 words, spread across nearly 1300 lines—that I'm not even thinking about including the whole thing here. Yet while it's comprehensive, it's not complete. "We don't even think this list says it all, because sometimes one little change took weeks to get just right, and other changes were deemed too small to make it to this list," the studio wrote. "We even didn't list bug fixes in here." A lot of it is relatively minor stuff, like new…

• Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition Is Out - 27 October 2015

  We knew that Divinity: Original Sin – Enhanced Edition was coming today, so its arrival is no surprise. We knew what to expect too: split-screen co-op; improved graphics; more voice-over; controller support; a reworked story; revamped loot and economy systems; an overhauled skill system; and so on. I’m still impressed looking at the changelist detailing almost 1,300 changes that are now here for Larian’s fantasy RPG – and that’s excluding bug fixes and things too minor to mention. You go on ahead and download the Enhanced Edition now – it’s a separate download, but free to all Original Sin owners – and I’ll pick over the changelog. …

• Here comes the Enhanced Edition - 27 October 2015

  Today is the day! Our busy little brains and fingers have worked for months and months making Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition.

We’ve put our hearts and souls into the Enhanced Edition, and we’re proud to release it into the world. If you have Divinity: Original Sin in your Steam library, you are getting this game for free and you will find Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition in your Steam library as a new entry.
