All hands on Deck, Godwoken!

Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition is now Steam Deck Verified ✅
If you own a Steam Deck, you'll now be able to take Divinity: Original Sin 2 on the go for a seamless experience! In a strange and unexpected turn of events, we didn't even have to break into Valve and steal a Steam Deck to make this happen.

(Precious memories...)

Hey everyone,

We’ve just released a new update for Divinity: Original Sin 2!

In this update we have added Steam Cross Save progression for iPad players! Now you'll be able to share your Steam save files between PC and iPad, seamlessly and as often as you like.

We have also added Brazilian Portuguese, so you'll now be able to play the game in your native language on PC and Mac!

To change languages, right-click the game in your Library, choose Properties, and go to the Languages tab. If Brazilian Portuguese doesn't pop up, try restarting Steam.

We've also updated the Larian Launcher for you! We've fixed issues with it displaying on certain resolutions, issues with starting the game on network mapped drives and we've added a skip option for you. See changelist below for details.

Wishing you many happy adventures in Rivellon!

Larian Crew

Launcher fixes:

• Fixed the launcher not fitting on certain display resolutions and windows scaling combinations.

  To use this:

Hi Everyone,

Our latest update for Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition is now live! We've addressed an array of visual and technical issues with the new Armour Sets, the Peck Eyes skill is no longer available during character creation and the cake is no longer a lie as we've addressed the crash from interacting with the wedding cake in Arx.

Also a big shout out to Futeko Snowfeather, who created a mod called Relics Of Rivellon- Stand Alone which enables you to complete the Gift Bag quests on your current play through, without the need for a new game. You can take a look at the mod here.

Happy adventures through Rivellon!

Hey, everyone!

Today we are releasing our biggest Gift Bag yet, The Four Relics of Rivellon!

As always, it’s delivered directly to your version of D:OS2 and at no extra cost, via an update released alongside this text!

In The Four Relics of Rivellon, you’ll embark upon new quests in search of four ancient armour sets imbued with magical properties. You’ll face new foes, fight brand new fights, and even take on an entirely new Undead Dragon boss. Discover new lore, new loot, and new narration on the hunt for distant relics.

What you see of course depends on the choices you make during your adventure. Be sure to check out the trailer!

https://youtu.be/tODY9i8TE94

The four sets of armour are:

Captain Armour

A set of armour that can dominate the minds of those around you. Each piece also boosts Lucky Charm, Persuasion and Bartering.

Vulture Armour

A light set of armour based off of dwarven rituals. Each part of the set enhances range and damage dealt from higher ground, while the complete set gives the wearer a pair of permanent, vulture-like wings.

Contamination Armour

An ancient set of armour created from magic thought lost long ago. Each piece offers resistance to poison, while the entire set grants immunity to poison along with a special ability to spawn exploding spores that will damage enemies in combat.

Devourer Armour

A set of armour said to make its wearer almost invincible. In combat, the armour will mark a certain target in range. Any attacks on this target cannot miss and will deal extra damage.

The new content will be available in any new game you start and does not affect your achievements.

Are you ready for another adventure? We’re delighted to announce the start of a new journey; one that takes Divinity offline and into the realm of friends, hijinks, and shenanigans. Join us on Kickstarter as we bring an entirely new Divinity adventure into the world of board games.

Developed by Lynnvander Studios in very close collaboration with Larian Studios, Divinity: Original Sin - The Board Game features brand new characters as well as notable characters from Divinity: Original Sin 2, all represented by high quality sculpted miniatures.

For a taste of the adventure, click the video below to get a sense of the experience as Larian and Lynnvander take on the Black Ring Commander.
Creating an analogue adventure game that you could enjoy at home with your friends and family has been something we’ve wanted to do for a very long time. We’ve been on the lookout for a partner who could successfully capture the Divinity: Original Sin experience in a board game format. After many, many prototypes, we’re delighted to say Lynnvander have really come up with something that hit the core of what we tried to do with Divinity.

It’s a narrative focused game about adventure, bravery, friendship. It’ll give you an immense amount of choice and consequence, as you decide how to deal with the challenges put in front of you.

Interactive story, elemental interactions, source magic, exploration, cooperative play, replayability, crafting, great combat, epic loot and equally epic monsters, it's all included to give you the most authentic video game to board game adaption we could hope for.

Divinity: Original Sin - The Board Game will take a party of up to four players through the challenges of being a sourceror captured by the Divine Order and escaping from the internment camp known as Fort Joy. Encounter new stories and meet new characters as you experience the adventure in a new way. You can play as new origin characters, and live out their stories or play as one of the core characters from the video game.
The game’s development is already in an advanced stage and plays really well. While there’s still some work to be done, our primary goal for this kickstarter is to see what interest there is in the game. The more backers we get, the bigger and better the game becomes because it lowers the manufacturing costs and lets us put more things in the box.

Thanks for reading, and we hope you like what you see and will support us on Kickstarter!

Hello everyone,

Today we’re releasing our latest Gift Bag: Order & Magic. Packed full of new features – including options to randomize combat, increase your haggling ability, and organise your sweet, sweet loot – all of which will be effortlessly added to your game, absolutely free.

As ever, the contents of each Gift Bag are accessible via the in-game menu, where you can independently enable or disable each individual feature. Of course, these are compatible with all prior Gift Bags (Beauty Salon and Song Of Nature), and you’re free to enable as many or as few as you'd like!

Gift Bag 3 includes:

Pet Power
Pet Power greatly enhances the summoning class and its infusion spells. With this feature, you can cast infusion spells on all available summons, not just your own Incarnate. Each summons receives different skills depending on the base elemental infusion type.

Combat Randomizer
When entering combat, one or more random enemies will receive one of the new special statuses created specially for this feature. Think you know how a particular fight is going to go down? Not any more! This will change everything you thought you knew about combat, with each battle presenting a fresh new challenge.

Nine Lives (Back Cat+)
Transforms the Black Cat into a follower. Once rescued, a whistle will appear in your inventory. You can use this if your cat gets lost or if you want to change who it follows.

Improved Organisation
Find a collection of special bags that allow you to better (and automatically) organise your inventory.

Sourcerous Sundries
In each major hub, you can now find a mysterious vendor selling exotic and potent artifacts. These artifacts can upgrade a character’s gear with immense power, bringing them up to the players' current level.

Hagglers
Tired of forgetting to switch to your 'haggling' character when talking to traders? Now the reputation and skill of your whole party can help you wrangle the best prices!

Please note that once enabled, these features will roll over to your saves on PC, or vice versa on Switch if you have cloud save transfers enabled.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 is now released on Switch. The reception has been very good with Gamespot [www.gamespot.com] hailing it as one of the best games on Switch with a 10/10 score, and USgamer[www.usgamer.net] is calling it “a masterpiece of role-playing, wherever you go.”

Divinity: Original Sin 2 launched on the Nintendo Switch with the completely unique feature that allows players to share their Steam save files between PC and their Switch, seamlessly and as often as they like.

If you are wondering how such a thing is possible, wonder no more. Watch as Baldur’s Gate 3 and Divinity: Original Sin 2 Creative Director Swen Vinke stealthily (he thinks) infiltrates the home of Portal, Index, and of course, your entire collection of PC games. See things you weren’t supposed to see, and some things you wish you never had!

You heard it here first! Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition will be the first game featuring cross-save compatibility between Switch and Steam. That means you can store your saves on the Cloud when playing at home and continue your adventure on the road on Switch. As one source within Larian indicated, "It took some true heroes at Valve and Nintendo to make this happen. And let’s not forget our partner Blitworks who made work very hard to make this port possible. A hearty thanks to everyone!."
