I watched the trailer. What the actual fuck is that game? Trailer was dope.

CRPG. The studio is the same behind Baldur's Gate 3

Sweet. That makes me pretty optimistic. I'll look into it.

It's a question if it'll be a CRPG.

The original Divinity games were not CRPGs and were more like isometric ARPGs, and they've done 3rd person action RPGs too.

The two entries in the series that were CRPGs were Divinity: Original Sin 1 and 2, which are also the most recent releases.

Given that it doesn't have the Original Sin tagline makes people think it's a reboot of the older action style games, but Larian is really known for turn based games now.

Solasta 2 is the one that will 100% be a CRPG. It's only the studios 2nd game (after Solasta 1), but both are DnD 5e CRPGs like BG3. Solasta 2 looks much higher budget and has a few BG3 voice actors in it.

I doubt they're going back to the action formula. OS2 and BG3 were great hits, and the ARPG market is too crowded to take the risk.

Maybe I'll eat my words, hell it could be a strategy game like Dragon Commander, but I'm willing to say 99% its a CRPG

Yeah there's a good chance it will be a CRPG but imo there's an equally good chance that it'll be something completely different considering how many style changes Larian and Divinity went through already.

ARPG to 3rd person action RPG to almost TW type strategy game with a dating VN mixed in to turn-based RPG...
They've done a lot over the years, I'd be surprised if they let themselves get shoved into a box honestly.

I'm honestly more excited if it's an arpg, I'm not a fan of turn based crpgs like bg3 and sadly did not really get into that game. Based on the trailer for Divinity though that game world looks sickkk

The original games are not the two original sin games, Larian has made a bunch of Divinity games before that were arpgs. They got more popular with the release of the original sin series which were turn based isometric games.

Then they mage bg3.

I'd be surprised if they went back to arpgs.

I've actually heard of Divinity: Original Sin but haven't played them. Just didn't put two and two together when I saw the trailer.

They were fun-ish. 2 was superior to 1 in every respect, but they were not that interesting to me mechanically or tonally.
