The console version of last year’s sandbox RPG will include “a user interface tailored for console play in both four-player online co-op and two-player split-screen co-op modes,” Bandai Namco said in a release. Content updates and extra features for the console version of Divinity: Original Sin 2 are promised in the coming weeks and months.
Divinity: Original Sin 2 was released for Windows PC in September 2017. The role-playing game offers immense freedom and interaction for players. The game stars “six unique origin characters with full-fledged backstories, personalities, and questlines: Red Prince, a haughty but heroic lizard noble; Sebille, an elven assassin; Lohse, a possessed musician; Ifan ben-Mezd, a mercenary ex-soldier; Beast, a rebel-turned-pirate dwarf; and Fane, an undead member of the long-forgotten Eternal race.”
Larian Studios successfully crowdfunded Divinity: Original Sin 2 in 2015 via Kickstarter, raising $2 million from backers. In our review of the game, we praised Original Sin 2’s ambition and gameplay, but criticized its cohesiveness.
