Larian have published a minor Divinity: Original Sin 2 Kickstarter update to announce that the game will be making an appearance at PAX East on April 22-24.

The update also announces that the original Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition has finally received an editor and also a new "VR mode", which I'm pretty sure is an early April Fools joke. Anybody want to tell us what that is?
