Divinity: Original Sin II is a role-playing video game developed and published by Larian Studios. The sequel to 2014's Divinity: Original Sin and the fifth main entry in the Divinity series, the game was released for Microsoft Windows in September 2017. The player controls a "Godwoken" (or a group of Godwoken), a Sourcerer who can harness and use a powerful magic known as Source, and becomes a pivotal figure in the fight against the Voidwoken, monstrous creatures who wreak havoc in the medieval fantasy world of Rivellon.
Divinity: Original Sin II features turn-based tactical RPG combat played from an isometric perspective. The game focuses on character development, exploration and interactions with non-player characters (NPCs), allowing players to make decisions that impact the story and the world. A flexible quest system enables various approaches to resolving quests. Original Sin II was conceived to work as both a single-player or cooperative multiplayer game, and players can play alone controlling a party of one to four Godwoken, or in a group of two to four players dividing the playable characters between them.
Financed via a successful crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter which raised $2 million, Original Sin II was a commercial and critical success, selling over a million copies in two months. It is frequently cited as one of the best role-playing games of all time, with significant praise given to its writing, story interactivity, combat system, cooperative multiplayer, and music. Divinity: Original Sin II - Definitive Edition, an enhanced version featuring an expanded storyline and improved gameplay, was released on Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in 2018, and on macOS, Nintendo Switch, and iPadOS during the following years, with Bandai Namco Entertainment acting as publisher for all versions except on Windows.
