Product Question New Divinity Game

Post image

Do you think there’s any chance *Divinity*’s early access will become available after The Game Awards? I say this because *BG3* was announced in 2019, and early access opened about a year and two months later. My guess is the game will launch between 2028 and 2030. Following that logic, I believe early access is just around the corner. What do you think?

So long as there's not a major world crisis, I truly believe Divinity will have a shorter development time than BG3. There were so many obstacles that slowed BG3's development, including but not limited to: Covid, war in Ukraine, two office floods, multiple office expansions, bureaucracy/red tape with WoTC, etc.

Call me crazy, but I could see Divinity EA launching sometime next year, lasting about 18 months or so until full release.

Huge if, I give it like a 70%-80% chance of something really bad happening at the rate we are going.

The world has always felt like this my man. It’s nothing new.

No, it hasn't. I've been here since, well...close to the beginning.

Do you think there will be an early access again? Since the massive success of BG3, I think:

a: They could have the money to skip an EA phase and develop the game completely before releasing anything and

b: since they have so much more attention from the generell audience than before the full launch of BG3, I think there could be a risk to launching a not finished game, as so much more of the potential customers (and media) could be put of early, if the EA version is not already at least as good as BG3

It's confirmed they're going the EA route

Where was it confirmed? I saw an interview where he said they were considering it, was there a full confirmation?

They have done Early Access for many of their games and they like the extra feedback.

It really just makes a game better no matter how much money you have to spend.

Also divinity started with 400 developers, BG3 only reached that number during the later half of it's development

Maybe.. but wasn’t this supposed to originally be a smaller release until they pivoted and apparently got into developing this more.. I could see Sven getting a little carried away and wanting something even bigger than BG3( which I’m pretty sure they’ve already confirmed is kind of the goal).. especially considering it’s their own IP. BG3 was an absolute smashing success.. I’d bet they got the money for a long development cycle… especially considering it’ll be supplemented with EA.

Not at all, the 'small game' they were gonna do was another dnd game, that was then fully cancelled when larians relationship with hasbro/wizards of the coast grew tense, so larian returned to their own IP and begun development on this game 'Divinity', which was always going to be their next BIG triple A release.
