It's hard to believe that it's been 10 years since Divinity composer Kirill Pokrovsky died unexpectedly at the age of 53. I still remember being shocked by the news: Pokrovsky was one of my favorite videogame composers, and he was a high-profile presence at Larian Studios, having created the music for every game the studio ever made up to Divinity: Original Sin—including The LED Wars, the one only...

There was a brief surge of excitement a couple days ago when Larian Studios temporarily changed its handle on X from @larianstudios to @divinity. This was a big deal (or at least it appeared to be) because prior to hitting the big big time with Baldur's Gate 3, Larian was known as the studio behind the very long-running Divinity series of mostly-RPGs—and the name change had an awful lot of fans th...

Before Baldur's Gate 3, developer Larian Studios made the Divinity series. Starting with Divine Divinity back in 2002, what began as a more Diablo style action RPG with CRPG elements inspired by the likes of BioWare's Baldur's Gate 2 would eventually become Divinity Original Sin, a turn-based RPG built on Larian's own systems that proved so popular it inspired a sequel and ultimately led to the st...

With Baldur's Gate 3 agonizingly within touching distance now, the founder of developer Larian Studios says the team will definitely look to return to its defining universe in the future. The success of Divinity Original Sin saw Larian selected to build the much-anticipated Baldur's Gate 3 after the popular reception to its outstanding RPG games, and Swen Vincke says he'd love to return to Larian'...

When I first saw that developer Larian was Kickstarting a board game adaptation of its acclaimed RPG series, I was skeptical. Don’t get me wrong, I love both Original Sin games. But if you’ve followed the tabletop scene at all over the last decade you’ll know that you can barely move these days for beefy, crowdfunded fantasy dungeon crawlers full of miniatures, cards, and toke...

Look! A ranking of the 50 best RPGs on PC. I know, you never asked for this, but here it is. It is 100 percent correct, we double-checked. The RPG is a broad and deep sea and fishing out the best games from its characterful waters is no easy task. But we are capable fishers on the good ship RPS, and know when to humanely throw back a tiddler or fight to heave up a monster. Enough of this s...

E3 is coming, as you may have heard. And speaking of the number 3, Divinity developer Larian Studios appears to have something cooking over on its website, as seen above. What could it be? Is Larian simply reminding us that E3 is coming, and expressing hope that everyone has a good time? Or is there maybe some other three it could be referring to? Three, three, what could it be? The obvious guess ...

What an absolutely mad idea Larian had. Of all the solitary, longform, completely-not-appropriate-for-couchplay gaming experiences I can think of, old school isometric RPGs sit teetering at the top of Mount Impractical. And yet somehow—somehow—I played through two Divinity: Original Sin games, start to finish, with the same friend sitting next to me. And we’ll always tre...
