Larian is returning to its own original fantasy setting with a dark, horrifying new RPG and everything it learned from Baldur’s Gate 3.
The days of doubt are past us. Larian Studios is officially that girl, the debutante with a stacked dance card who nary an RPG-liker would commit the social gaffe of insulting in public. With all that adoration comes the freedom to do as you please, and for Larian that’s returning from the megabucks success of Baldur’s Gate 3 to play around in its very own fantasy setting.
The next RPG from your new favorite developer is called, simply, Divinity. It’s the studio’s „biggest most ambitious rpg yet“, set in Rivellon of Divinity: Original Sin fame, where big red lizardmen are princes and elves gnaw on severed forearms.Is there a Divinity release date?
There is no release date or even release year for Divinity, so don’t let the AI lie to you when you ask. Can we speculate about the timeline at all? Surely we can narrow it down to something more specific than sometime in the next decade.
Back in April 2025, about eight months before revealing Divinity, Larian boss Swen Vincke said the studio was „deep in the trenches“ with its next project. Vincke also answered a question about the studio’s five year plan saying that „I hope that definitely five years from now I can tell you about it and say ‚yeah this is working out, this is what we’re doing.'“
Here’s the timeline for Baldur’s Gate 3’s release, to help illustrate what pace Larian might be operating at:
Summer 2017 – Larian submits a BG3 design document to Wizards of the Coast the month before Divinity: Original Sin 2 launches
June 2019 – Larian reveals the first trailer for Baldur’s Gate 3
October 2020 – Baldur’s Gate 3 early access launch
August 2023 – Baldur’s Gate 3’s full launch
I’m not going to put words in Swen’s mouth—especially because we don’t know if Divinity will launch first in early access the way Larian has done in the past—but the time from first trailer to first public release for BG3 was only 16 months.
