Divinity: Original Sin overhauled for PS4 and Xbox One

Eurogamer:
Divinity: Original Sin, "hands down the best classic-style role-playing game in years", is coming to PS4 and Xbox One. What's more, it's been overhauled for the occasion, transformed into an Enhanced Edition that will launch at the end of the year.

So much has changed. A team of around 40 has been working on the Enhanced Edition for a year, Swen Vincke, head of developer Larian, told me. Everything from the graphics to story to the ending have been changed. And PC and Mac players won't miss out.

Nice. I had no idea this was happening.

[thekhurg]

Same. The game is a masterpiece on PC though. I will 100% re-buy this just to play it again on my couch.

[bunt-custardly]

Yeh this has come from the leftfield. Me likey considering I missed the original sin on PC.

[G3n3raL86]

That's great news!

Day one

Great! With wasteland 2 also coming good times to be an RPG fan :)

[g-nome]

You lost me at TURN BASED rpg

[Xof]

You lost me at STUPID COMMENT.

[Darkwatchman]

You lost me at narrow taste in games. I love all games of all genres. Action rpg's or turn based RPG's. It doesn't matter. If it's good, it's good.

[NoctisPendragon]

I am also not very fond of Turn Based RPG but Divinity Original sin does it very well and for a good reason , that game would not be as good if it was an ARPG .

[Xof]

IMHO only two games have really done great things with turn-based combat--at least in terms of RPGs. I'm not sure where I stand with strategy games. Anyway: those games are Original Sin, and Arc the Lad: Twilight of Spirits.

[ElementX]

Original Sin is a fantastic game! I played the Steam version for 102 hours.

[Volkama]

I played it for about 60 minutes. I'll hold off on the remaining 101 hours until the enhanced edition drops lol

[Sly-Lupin]

Lol yeah, that's the problem with these games. And why I stopped buying Vita games.

I've got 77 hours into DOS, but because the gameplay is so damned fun, I'm actually really looking forward to a new play through. And I seldom feel that way about ANY game.

[Ocsta]

Hopefully you can de-Hulkify the male character in the enhanced edition. Put me off completely, which is a giant shame.

[Xof]

Woohoo!

Here's hoping the new content expands the world instead of simply adding to it. DOS was/is a fantastically designed game to begin with, but budget limitations led to a disappointing lack of diversity--only the one big town to explore, no elves, dwarves or lizardfolk to interact with, and so on.

I figured the big content update would give me a good excuse to play the game again. It feels so nice to see that update morphed into a brand new game (more or less).

[slappy508]

Didn't know this was in the pipeline, I didn't finish it on my PC , I think I'll get the enhanced edition!

[slappy508]

That couch co op looks like a really neat feature of the game, also good to see there will be voice over instead of just dialogue in this

[Pintheshadows]

I am down for buying this again. No hesitation.

[Two-Face]

The Enhanced Edition is for free on PC for those who own Divinity Original Sin on PC.

[Pintheshadows]

I think I might give it a go on console because of the splitscreen. I love couch co-op. It isn't in enough games these days. And I will happily give Larian more money.

[Xof]

Yeah. I definitely plan on picking up a PS4 version sometime. I'll probably wait for a sale, though, simply due to not wanting to randomly give Sony money for online play.

[Dewitt]

This is awesome news, held off buying it because my PC backlog was huge, but I will definitely get for XB1 down the road.

[asadachi]

I'm looking forward to this as I planned to buy a copy of Steam when there was a deal. Does anyone know if the control style will fit well for consoles as it does PC?

[stormswrath]

Thank you for this. I'm loving this console generation. So excited. Hopefully we'll get it this year.

[someOnecalled]

So PC gamers advertised the game since it came out and a lot of fanboys said not worth gaming on PC and it doesn't have games , bit now announced multiplat now its god gift to man and gets the credit it deserves. Gotta love console fanboys logic. The constant contradictions is getting pathetic

Constantly getting PC straps but turn around and say PC sucks, no games. Most games worth playing on consoles are pc ports, multiplats. How the wait for the witcher I herd so many fanboys saying it sucked last gen funny how thongs change.

[Germany7]

And the other way around never happens, right?
Ok.

[Germany7]

Another PC game coming for consoles, that's interesting.
