Announcing Divinity: Fallen Heroes!

We’re so happy to announce this one.

Divinity: Fallen Heroes is a game we’ve wanted to make for a long time. Ever since Dragon Commander, we toyed with the idea of mixing D:OS tactical turn-based combat with Dragon Commander’s decision-making elements. We thought there was a very cool game hiding in there, but we never had the resources to make it. Since then, the idea remained unexplored.

Until now.



Last year, we gave the D:OS2 engine to Danish studio Logic Artists and asked them to see where it’d take them. Their brief was to develop a game in which your narrative choices affect which missions you can play-- and where your performance during these missions would affect subsequent narrative options.

The result was truly awesome. Thus, some time later this year, there will be a new stand-alone Divinity game featuring all our favourite characters, tactical turn-based combat, and plenty of difficult decisions to make. There’s tons of new combos to discover, tons of combat enhancements and… you can play with a friend in co-op!

The story will see you take on the role of commanders in the Divine Order, charged with arresting the half-demon Malady for stealing the Order's doomsday weapons. Before you know it, you’ll be engaged in a high-stakes play for global domination against none other than the Lord of Chaos himself. Together with the former Godwoken and the unreliable half-demon, you’ll engage in a grand adventure that’ll see you become the last hope of the free world.

To get a first taste of Divinity: Fallen Heroes, check out our brand new shiny trailer. And if you’re lucky enough to attend PAX East, come to our booth and try out the game yourself. We’re demoing an early build to collect feedback.

It’s still early days and we have plenty of work left to do, but do let us know your thoughts and what you would hope to see in Divinity: Fallen Heroes. We’re listening, and as always, your feedback will help us make the game better.

...Hoping for more companions with more personal traits / skills, and more diverse, unique, and interesting character builds.

I'm so excited for this one. Storywise I think, that this game will be the bridge between the OS-Series and the Dragon Knight - Saga, because it will reintroduce Damian and his story for newer players.

Lucian doesn't need to die in Fallen Heroes. If I remember the timeline correctly, the war between him and Damian took a while, so it can be just a little inbetween. Because, let's be honest, in Rivellon every week is "Almost-Apocalpyse-time" .

Ehhh, my question is more like, "which Divinity Original Sin II ending is going to be reflected in this game?"

Lucian, after all might have or might not have died in DOSII, as well as any # of the listed named crewmates (though their survival is a pretty safe assumption given their presence in the opening ^_^) . There's also tge question the living demigod that might have emerged at the end of that game.

Just; highly curious; but very excited for this game no matter the answer.

I think they will stick to the ending, we know from the Dragon Knight - Saga

Meaning:



Would be the easiest and strongest to write Damian as a serious threat, with him being the reborn God of Demons and all. But you are right to ask, what the current state of the rest of the world could be.

My guesses are:



Makes the most logical sense and the seeds for conflicts are already in it, I think.

I wouldn't totally count out a protagonist. The game was also compared to FF Tactics , and while it was limited to squad missions with no exploration outside picking dots on a global map, none the less had a protagonist with a personal story arc.

A shame that all the relationship building that took place in DOSII gets left behind, but I am pleased we'll be abe to see the characters progress in the new story.

(But seriously, what was the god-sotting favor Malady wanted!? I know, I know, no answer yet.
