Larians Swen Vincke Acknowledges Older Divinity Games Are Outdated

The franchise Divinity began its journey long before the release of  Original Sin, the series’ progenitor,  Divine Divinity, which debuted back in 2002. Is it necessary to slog through a pile of older games to get ready for the launch of the new  Divinity? Not at all, assured Larian Studios head Swen Vincke.

In an interview with GamesRadar+, Vincke mentioned that the upcoming Divinity does not disregard the events from previous games. However, players will be able to enjoy the new title without having prior knowledge of the lore of Rivellon.

For newcomers who became intrigued by Larian following  Baldur’s Gate III, the studio head recommended the Original Sin duology, as it shares many connections with the third installment of BG. He refrained from suggesting the other Divinity titles, noting that time has not been kind to them.

As a reminder, the new Divinity will launch in early access. Details regarding platforms and release dates are still to be determined.
