Divinity: Original Sin 2 Is Getting A Sequel Called Fallen Heroes

Larian Studios has announced Divinity: Fallen Heroes, a new standalone game that acts as a sequel to Divinity: Original Sin II. Fallen Heroes has been developed in co-production with Logic Artists, a studio known for creating strategy RPGs such as Clandestine and Expeditions: Vikings.

According to a Larian Studios press release, in Fallen Heroes, you’ll delve “deeper into the world of Rivellon as you command your troops aboard the Lady Vengeance. Explore new lands and wield new weapons and skills. Build your squad and vanquish never-before seen corners of Rivellon.” The game will feature both single player and two-player coop.

Several characters from Original Sin II return to help you fight on your quest, including Malady, Fane, Ifan, Lohse, Sebille, Red Emperor, and Beast. Combat is tactical, forcing you to make calculated decisions on the battlefield and challenging you to strategize prior to every encounter. The hub you’ll return to between missions is a flying battleship called Lady Vengeance. It’s there you’ll manage your crew, influencing their relationships in how you interact with them.

Fallen Heroes introduces gun powder into the world of Divinity, allowing characters to wield firearms for the first time in the franchise. A new surface, called Sulfurium, has been introduced as well. Read more about the game from Larian Studios’ synopsis below.
