Larian Studios' next Divinity game will be a turn-based RPG — and the studio is using generative AI for ideation

Divinity Game Awards 2025 village burning ritual.

It's still early days, but Larian Studios is sharing some details on what players can expect from the team's next big game.

In an interview with Bloomberg, Larian Studios head Swen Vincke shared that the recently-revealed Divinity is in fact a turn-based RPG (role-playing game), in line with some of the developer's prior games such as Divinity: Original Sin 2 and the uber-popular Baldur's Gate 3, the latter of which has sold over 20 million copies since launching in 2023.

Vincke also indicates the team is planning to launch Divinity in early access, but it probably won't be out in 2026. The team has grown significantly, now spanning 530 developers across multiple studios, and Vincke is hopeful that this game won't take six years to develop like Baldur's Gate 3.

“I think three to four years is much healthier than six years,” he says.
