Larian Studios, the creators of the critically acclaimed Baldur's Gate 3, have sparked excitement among Nintendo fans with their potential plans for Divinity: Original Sin 2. In a recent Reddit AMA, the studio's technical director, Bert Larian, revealed that they are 'certainly considering' bringing their upcoming game, Divinity, to the Nintendo Switch 2. This news comes as a ray of hope for Nintendo users, who have been eagerly awaiting the release of Divinity on their platform.
The developer's enthusiasm for the Nintendo Switch 2 is evident, as they recently released Divinity: Original Sin 2 on the latest Nintendo console. Bert Larian expressed their love for the platform, stating, 'We love the platform.' This positive sentiment extends to other Nintendo devices as well, including the Steam Deck, which Bert also praised for its portability and playability.
However, the discussion around Divinity and AI has been a bit more controversial. After announcing the use of generative AI for concept art and placeholder text, Larian faced backlash from the community. In response, the studio head announced a change of stance, stating that they will not use generative AI for Divinity's concept art. This decision was made to address concerns and maintain the quality and integrity of the game's artistic vision.
The AMA also touched on the topic of Divinity being playable on Steam Deck, and Bert Larian assured the community that they will do their best to release the game on this popular platform as well. With their commitment to bringing Divinity to various platforms, Larian Studios continues to captivate players and build anticipation for their upcoming release.
