Delusions of Grandeur and High Ambitions – Divinity in GameStar Talk
What will be discussed in the Talk? In the GameStar Talk, the participants discuss the new game from Larian Studios, Divinity. The game belongs to Larian’s own series. We have gathered everything you need to know about the franchise.
Specifically, it is about how Larian was able to celebrate a massive success with Baldur’s Gate 3. For their next game, they have a correspondingly larger budget. Also, with Divinity, the license from Wizards of the Coast for Dungeons & Dragons is no longer in effect. This is expected to give the developers more freedom overall.
MeinMMO editor-in-chief Leya Jankowski mentions that she asked Swen Vincke if he wasn’t being a bit egotistical, considering that he seemingly wants to create the perfect role-playing game.
Another topic is the current debate about the use of AI in the development of the game. In an interview with Bloomberg, Larian CEO Swen Vincke stated that his team would be using generative AI tools in pre-development.

Currently, the release date for Divinity is still absolutely uncertain. In fact, we already know quite a bit about the game thanks to several interviews.
