Released to overwhelming critical acclaim, reaching close to a million copies sold on PC and winning over 150 game of the year awards and nominations, Larian Studios' RPG Divinity Original Sin comes to consoles with a host of new and enhanced content in Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition.

More exciting details will be revealed over the coming months, but for an early look be sure to visit the Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition booth at E3.
Of their partnership, Larian CEO Swen Vincke said "There was a lot of publisher interest for [the console version] but when Focus approached us, the decision was rapidly made. We know each other well, having worked together since 2002, and that means there's a lot of mutual trust & respect.
Focus' recent growth as well as the energy and enthusiasm showcased by their team makes me confident they'll do a great job in publishing the Xbox One & PS4 versions of Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition."
His remarks were followed closely by Focus Home Interactive's Managing Partner Cedric Lagarrigue, stating "We're very proud to accompany Larian on such a big project. We're pleased to see that both Focus and Larian have remarkably grown since our first partnership more than 10 years ago, and that now together we'll deliver one of the most exciting RPGs that will release on consoles at the end of 2015."

Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition Overview Trailer ~ PS4 & Xbox One
Divinity Original Sin: Enhanced Edition, an Overview Trailer for Gamescom 2015
Today, celebrate the Gamescom 2015 kick-off as Larian's Studios' multi-award winner Divinity Original Sin unveils the Overview Trailer of its Enhanced Edition, which brings the famous classic-RPG to PS4 and Xbox One this fall.
In a first for current generation consoles, Divinity: Original Sin is bringing couch-coop to RPGs with split-screen. Explore a deceitfully vibrant world on your own, or with a friend, together, or independently. When venturing together, you'll share the same screen-space (with console-comfortable controls and UI!), but move apart, and the screen dynamically and seamlessly splits allowing you to explore the entire world apart... (But that could make the living room awkward!)
Work together, however, and Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition will offer you dynamic, turn-based combat with a range of elemental spells and abilities intertwined with environmental hazards to be exploited against the enemies, or yourselves! Shock, burn, smash, and poison your way through a huge, vibrant world as you weave your way through an epic story, playing your own way, and at your own pace.
To suit different playstyles, players will be able to pick a difficulty setting to match their needs. Explorer mode will offer an adventure with a sprinkle of challenge for Source Hunters keen to explore Rivellon, whereas Tactician Mode will throw tweaked, hand-crafted battle-situations at players, designed to crush even the most experienced Divinity veterans.
Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition Console Co-op Trailer
Divinity Original Sin - Enhanced Edition, everything about its online & splitscreen cooperative mode on console, in a new trailer!
In a first for current generation consoles, Divinity: Original Sin is bringing splitscreen and online co‑op to RPGs. Larian Studios' multi-award winner RPG (over 150 awards and nominations) RPG unveils all about its cooperative mode with the Co‑op Trailer of its Enhanced Edition, which is planned for release on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles next month. This new video accompanies the opening of the official website, on which you'll find all relevant information about Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition!
Explore a deceitfully vibrant world on your own or with a friend, together or independently in the same playthrough. When venturing together, you'll share the same screen-space (with console-comfortable controls and UI!), but move apart when playing locally, and the screen dynamically and seamlessly splits allowing you to explore the entire world apart, without loadings.
Cooperative play adds a whole new dimension to Divinity Original Sin; from the turn-based battles giving prominence to teamplay, to quest resolution, exploration, dialogues, and the critical choices that will shape your adventure. Should you kill the Orc, or the Elf? Or none? Or maybe both? There's always multiple solutions to any given problem in Divinity: Original Sin, and it's up to you - and your friend, when you play in co‑op - to decide how to progress in your epic adventure. Of course, dissension may arise from time to time... don't panic! Divinity: Original Sin incorporates an innovative game mechanic, inspired by a real-life ancestral problem solving remedy... rock-paper-scissors!
For more information about the game, head toward the official website of Divinity Original Sin - Enhanced Edition, which opens its doors today! The website contains every bit of information you want to know about the game and the new features of the Enhanced Edition.
Divinity Original Sin - Enhanced Edition will release on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in October.
Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition Console Combat Trailer
Divinity Original Sin - Enhanced Edition Reveals Its Combat Trailer
Larian Studios' multi-award winning RPG is nearing release on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Having revealed the online and offline cooperative features with its Co-op Trailer, today's Combat Trailer introduces a new generation to the combat of Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition. Discover how turn-based combat performs effortlessly on gamepads thanks to the intuitive control system and UI designed for consoles.
The combat in Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition, is both torturously tactical, or bright and breezy! It just depends on your play-style and the level of difficulty you picked. The Enhanced Edition comes with three new difficulty modes: Honor, Tactician, and Explorer, each offering a new, tailor-made experience honing on different play-styles.
Take advantage of crowd control spells such as petrify, charm, and freeze - required in the harder difficulty settings, or simply ignite, enflame, poison, and electrify your way through the world - zapping water under-foot to shock, or engulfing the enemy in flames by igniting a near-by oil barrel.
It's all about using the skills at your party's disposal to supplement each of their player-defined roles. Although featuring 12 classes (including a new class, the Inquisitor), Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition is really classless. You can mix and match as you develop your characters, chaining abilities and taking advantage of environmental aspects such as water, ice, oil on the floor, and steam clouds, things like that.
Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition launches on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on October 27.
