Divinity: Original Sin 2 has been out for nearly three months now, and it was recently announced that it's sold over a million copies. The game has received several patches during that time, but only this latest one was deemed important enough to get its own Kickstarter update. It's actually the first Kickstarter update since the game's release. The patch includes a few new convenience improvements and a ton of bugfixes, but nothing really game-changing, I think. The full patch notes are available here. The update also offers tribute to the Original Sin 2 modding community, profiling several notable mods. Here's the accompanying video, featuring a much less exhausted-looking than before Swen Vincke:

Larian will be at PAX South next month, January 12-14, where they apparently plan to announce their next project. Will it be an expansion for Original Sin 2, or an entirely new game? I guess we'll see.

Do you have any additional information suggesting this? I was betting on announcement of console port as it seems early for new content, but hey, that would be cool.

Oh yeah, I guess it could be that.

I prefer Swen Vincke tired and beaten.

Did Swen lay off the cocaine and go full speed on the dorito dew diet?

Hope its a new project and not a KUCK KONSOLE port.

Careful now, we don't want Larian blacklisting the Codex, do we?

LOL - 8:13, Swen is such a shameless Ultima fan-boy. Love it

It would be nice if there was a linux version, but judging from the complete mess they made of the D:OS linux port they don't have much experience in that area.

For interested parties, if you have a radeon card (and possibly any non-nvidia card) it won't run unless you hack together a script to preload a shared library with missing functions because it was designed around the proprietary nvidia drivers and its closed source openGL libraries. Ironically, the windows version runs perfectly under Wine whatever card you have.

Possibly something GM mode related? If this recently added branch is about showing something GM mode related to the press: https://steamdb.info/app/435150/history/?changeid=3853361

I guess official D&D module is probable if they've been working on it from the time they met WotC.
