News: Divinity 2 is now available on Switch and offers cross-save support with the Steam version.

Larian Studios are excited to announce that the Metacritic Must-Play RPG Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition is finally coming to the Nintendo Switch system. For players who have played on Steam and want to continue their stories, Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition includes cross-saves between Nintendo Switch and Steam, which means players are able to upload and download their save files and continue on the go.

Join the battle for Divinity in a world that reacts to who you are, and what you do. Adventure as a flesh-eating Elf, or an imperial Lizard. Play as a mighty Dwarf, or lead your party as an Undead, risen from the grave!

Choose your race and origin. Choose from 6 unique origin characters with their own backgrounds and quests, or create your own hero as a Human, Lizard, Elf, Dwarf, or Undead. All choices have consequences.

Unlimited freedom to explore and experiment. Go anywhere, talk to anyone, and interact with everything! Kill any NPC without sacrificing your progress, and speak to every animal. Even ghosts might be hiding a secret or two…

The next generation of turn-based combat. Blast your opponents with elemental combinations. Use height to your advantage. Master over 200 skills in 12 skill schools. But beware - the game’s AI 2.0 is our most devious invention to date.

Up to four-player online cooperative gameplay for the entire game, spanning over 100 hours of award-winning narrative.

The Switch version is launching alongside the second Gift Bag: free DLC that includes content for new and existing players, on all existing platforms. This content is periodically patched into the game at no extra cost, with more to come over the year.
