Divinity: Original Sin II is a top-down, party-based action/RPG featuring cooperative multiplayer, turn-based combat, a strong focus on systematic gameplay and a well-grounded narrative.

An epic RPG with turn-based combat, Divinity: Original Sin 2 can be played as both a single-player and multiplayer game for up to four players with both cooperative and competitive questing.

Switch seamlessly between cooperative and competitive play throughout the entire story. Work together with your companions as one, persuade NPCs to thwart your opponents, and beware of backstabbing allies. Or, put your own goals above that of the party, and plan the moment you’ll betray them all. It’s up to you.

With Divinity: Original Sin 2, Larian Studios aims to change the way we think about narrative in RPGs, creating a world in which your history and actions shape the story, and NPCs react differently to each character.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 on Steam Early Access includes:

  • Act 1 of the campaign, with approximately 8-12 hours of gameplay.
  • Online co-op for up to four players.
  • Four playable races: Human, Elf, Dwarf, and Lizard.
  • Four optional Origin Stories with unique quests and interactions.
  • Eight schools of skills and spells.
  • PvP Arena mode with select maps.
  • Additional features and content to be announced throughout development.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 is available now on PC (Windows) via Steam Early Access for $44.99 (USD), and will also be coming soon to the GOG.com Games in Development program.

In addition to a powerful system of classless character development, your origins and deeds will shape NPCs’ behaviors and attitudes. Your race, birthplace, and greatest feats all play a role in your journey, but watch out, as a reputation as a Traitor or Swindler can be hard to shake.

Backers will have the opportunity claim Kickstarter-only rewards including multiplayer packs, a unique Kickstarter Collector’s Edition, custom artwork, and even a surprise pack that includes handpicked trinkets, mementos and other little things that inspired the team as they were developing the game. To ensure all backers can give feedback to the team, every backer at the $25 tier and higher will receive Alpha and Beta access!
