Ever since developer Larian Studios confirmed that it has no plans to create DLC, expansion content, or a sequel for its 2023 Game of the Year-winning D&D RPG Baldur’s Gate 3<\/a> last year, everyone who fell in love with the grand Faer\u00fbn adventure has been wondering one thing: what’s next?<\/p>\n

The studio has remained incredibly tight-lipped about that thus far, though naturally, many have speculated that Larian will return to its Divinity series to make Divinity: Original Sin 3 \u2014 a sequel to the acclaimed pair of top-down RPGs it developed before creating Baldur’s Gate 3.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s certainly a very good guess, especially given how popular Divinity: Original Sin 2 in particular was with RPG fans even before BG3 put Larian in the mainstream limelight. However, the studio’s publishing director Michael Douse has announced that Divinity: Original Sin 3 currently isn’t in development, and that there aren’t plans for it right now, either.<\/p>\n

“There aren’t currently any plans for a new Divinity Original Sin 3 game but once we are ready to show what we’ve been working on we will,” he wrote<\/a> to a fan begging for the hypothetical sequel on social media.<\/p>\n

That news will no doubt disappoint RPG players out there that are hopeful Larian will make a new Divinity: Original Sin title, though it’s important to note that the developer’s next project could still be a game in the wider Divinity series.<\/p>\n

Over the last 20+ years, Larian has made Divinity action RPGs as well as a real-time strategy (RTS) title; it could be returning to the franchise with either of these genres, or we could be getting another tabletop-style Divinity game that drops the “Original Sin’ signifier.<\/p>\n

Hey we weren’t meant to announce that yet https:\/\/t.co\/k4BvvNS5cdDecember 9, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n

In any event, while Divinity: Original Sin 2 isn’t getting a sequel, a leak has revealed that it’s getting a new Definitive Edition. In fact, Douse’s aforementioned reply came in a comedic thread in which he quote-reposted the leak; the leak itself<\/a> came from PlayStation Game Size, an X (Twitter) account that combs through the PlayStation database to share the size of upcoming releases, and also reveal unannounced titles or versions of games.<\/p>\n

“Hey we weren’t meant to announce that yet,” Douse said<\/a> in reply to PlayStation Game Size’s post, all-but-confirming the leak’s validity.<\/p>\n

Though all 2018-released versions of Divinity: Original Sin 2 currently available across Xbox Series X<\/a>|S, Xbox One, Windows PC, Nintendo Switch<\/a>, PS5<\/a>, and PS4 are the “Definitive Edition,” this new version is reportedly<\/a> a true Definitive Edition native to PS5 (and Xbox Series X|S, I assume) instead of just forward-compatible. I expect it will bump the framerate from 30 to 60 on consoles, and will feature improved or remastered visuals at the very least.<\/p>\n

It’s unclear if this upgraded version of the game will be offered to Divinity: Original Sin 2 owners for free or if they’ll have to buy it again, though I’m sure Larian will make that clear when they announce the Definitive Edition officially.<\/p>\n

Speaking of that, I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw the Definitive Edition revealed at The Game Awards 2025<\/a> on December 11 \u2014 this Thursday. Perhaps Larian will even shadow drop it and make it available across various platforms that very night, though calling it a “shadow” drop would be a bit ironic now that light has been shone on it.<\/p>\n

The existing version of Divinity: Original Sin 2 sells for $49.99 on Xbox, Switch, and PlayStation, and for $44.99 at GOG<\/a> and Steam.<\/p>\n
