Larian Studios is a Belgian developer that recently has conquered a lot of hearts among RPG fans with the Divinity: Original Sin series. If you’re curious, you can read our review of the second game of the popular franchise.

The reveal was more or less leaked through a code included in a recent tease, but it’s hard not to be excited for this even if we aren’t particularly surprised.

Update: the game will also come to PC, thankfully.
