Divinity: Original Sin Delayed, Spring Release Trailer

While the co-op RPG was originally set for a February 28th release date, Larian Studios has sent out a press release announcing plans to wait until later this spring (beyond March 21st, anyway) to make Divinity: Original Sin available to the general public. They’ll be incorporating feedback received from the Kickstarter backers and Steam Early Access players who have given the game a spin already, so a short delay certainly seems like a good thing. Here’s a new release date trailer:

And the press release they hit us with this morning:
