Divinity: Original Sin 2

Back in 2019, BlitWorks partnered with Larian Studios on the Switch version of Divinity: Original Sin 2. Co-founder Tony Cabello has gone on record and said that the port “was one of the most difficult projects we’ve ever done”. BlitWorks would later partner with Larian again, as the company’s development team would form the recently-announced Larian Barcelona.

Larian’s main focus at the moment is Baldur’s Gate 3, though it’s unclear if it will end up on Switch. One factor that could influence the situation would be if Nintendo introduced more powerful hardware.

Larian Studios today announced that Divinity: Original Sin 2 – Definitive Edition has been updated on Switch. Players can now invite friends to their game using the new friend invite feature the console recently added. You simply need to pick the friend you’d like to invite, and if they accept, they’ll join you party.

Order & Magic is also on the way as the latest Gift Bag DLC drop for Divinity: Original Sin 2. The contents of each Gift Bag can be found via the in-game menu, where you can independently enable or disable each individual feature. These are compatible with all prior Gift Bags (Beauty Salon and Song Of Nature), and you’re free to enable as many or as few as you’d like.

Here’s what Gift Bag 3 includes:

Divinity: Original Sin 2 – Definitive Edition has received a new 3.6.49.2201 update on Switch, Larian Studios has announced. It comes with “fixes for the character portraits, as well as skill or object icons, and some issues with cross-saves on Steam” in addition to “performance improvements as well as fixes for sound and audio effects.”

Below are the full patch notes:

Divinity: Original Sin 2 – Definitive Edition made it to Switch last month. Larian Studios ended up releasing the during the last Nintendo Direct, which definitely came as a surprise.

Larian Studios founder and CEO Swen Vincke spoke with the IGN Nintendo Voice Chat podcast crew about bringing it to Switch, calling it an “experiment” since there was no guarantee it would be technically possible. For awhile, they weren’t even certain that it would release. BlitWorks handled the port, and the team started working on it around last year.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 – Definitive Edition recently made its Switch following a surprise announcement in the latest Nintendo Direct. Today, Digital Foundry has examined the game more closely from a technical perspective.

Like a number of other Switch titles, Divinity: Original Sin 2 employs a dynamic resolution. The max number when docked is 720p, though the UI is at 900p and was redesigned specifically for this version. You’re looking at around 612p towards its lowest points. As for portable mode, Divinity: Original Sin 2 runs at 648p at best and 495p at its lowest points.

At the FACTS 2016 convention in Belgium, MyGamingBoulevard spoke to a couple of developers to ask about potential Switch support.

First up is Larian Studios, the team behind the Divinity series. It’s much too early to say if they’ll be supporting Nintendo’s new platform, but they do seem to be open to the idea. You can hear some brief comments about Switch at the end of the video below.

Another title which might be possible for Switch is Mayan Death Robots, which originally released on Steam last year and is coming to Xbox One soon. While it’s something the developer hadn’t thought about before, he feels that it could be a “perfect fit” on Switch.
