Divinity: Everything We Know About Larian's 'most Ambitious Rpg Yet'

Larian is returning to its own original fantasy setting with a dark, horrifying new RPG and everything it learned from Baldur's Gate 3.

The days of doubt are past us. Larian Studios is officially that girl, the debutante with a stacked dance card who nary an RPG-liker would commit the social gaffe of insulting in public. With all that adoration comes the freedom to do as you please, and for Larian that's returning from the megabucks success of Baldur's Gate 3 to play around in its very own fantasy setting.

The next RPG from your new favorite developer is called, simply, Divinity. It's the studio's "biggest most ambitious rpg yet," set in Rivellon of Divinity: Original Sin fame, where big red lizardmen are princes and elves gnaw on severed forearms.

There is no release date or even release year for Divinity, so don't let the AI lie to you when you ask. Can we speculate about the timeline at all? Surely we can narrow it down to something more specific than sometime in the next decade.

Back in April 2025, about eight months before revealing Divinity, Larian boss Swen Vincke said the studio was "deep in the trenches" with its next project. Vincke also answered a question about the studio's five year plan saying that "I hope that definitely five years from now I can tell you about it and say 'yeah this is working out, this is what we're doing.'"

Here's the timeline for Baldur's Gate 3's release, to help illustrate what pace Larian might be operating at:

I'm not going to put words in Swen's mouth—especially because we don't know if Divinity will launch first in early access the way Larian has done in the past—but the time from first trailer to first public release for BG3 was only 16 months. Divinity is the studio's biggest project yet though, so it may not be able to match that speed.

We're already familiar with Rivellon as Larian's high fantasy setting from the Divinity games, but there's no telling quite what the story will be this time. The reveal trailer included a man being burned to death in a giant wicker man contraption during a busy summer festival outside the walls of a large, medieval-y city, attended by all sorts of folks from Rivellon's handful of races—humans, elves, dwarves, lizards, and orcs are definitely shown. The gluttony, lust, and ritual sacrifice of it all somehow summons a giant corpse portal that Larian's publishing director explained is called the Hellstone. You know, heroic sword and sorcery stuff!
