Divinity: Fallen Heroes Announced

Taking a page out of Iron Tower Studio’s book, Larian Studios has decided to follow up their highly successful expansive cRPG Divinity: Original Sin II with a more focused tactical spin-off. Entitled Divinity: Fallen Heroes, the game promises to combine rich turn-based tactics with a plethora of RPG-style choices and consequences, all squeezed into the Original Sin II engine. And if that isn’t exciting enough for you, in order to make Fallen Heroes, Larian will be joining forces with Logic Artists, the team behind the Expeditions series.

At this point we don’t know much about the game, but we do have a shiny announcement trailer. Check it out:

Who will rise to command the fallen?

Divinity: Fallen Heroes is a new tactical game oozing with RPG elements, developed as a co-production between Larian Studios and Logic Artists. Faced with a new evil, we’re calling on YOU to command The Lady Vengeance and continue the story of Divinity: Original Sin 2.

Fallen Heroes marries rich tactical gameplay with RPG choices and consequences, and introduces a wealth of new features and mechanics to the D:OS 2 engine. It will be released on multiple platforms later in the year. Delve deeper into the world of Rivellon as you command your troops aboard the Lady Vengeance.
