From Obsidian to Larian.
BY MATT PORTER Larian Studios has announced that Chris Avellone has been brought on as a contributor to Divinity: Original Sin II.
Avellone left Obsidian Entertainment in June to "pursue new projects," and will now be working on the upcoming RPG sequel. He has previously worked on the likes of Fallout 2, Planescape: Torment, and Pillars of Eternity.
Larian Studios creative director Swen Vincke said "it’s a real honor to have one of the masters on board to help us improve our narrative and characters—I honestly can’t wait to get started."
"This is the first time I think the community is responsible for bringing two developers together who might not have crossed paths, and especially for such a great project," said Chris Avellone. "I met Swen at PAX Prime, talked about RPGs for hours, and at the end, it was clear we were on the same page."
Divinity: Original Sin II was announced in August, and its Kickstarter campaign was funded in less than 12 hours.
