Divinity: Original Sin is coming to Xbox One in the form of an Enhanced Edition. According to Larian Studios, Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition isn’t just “some patch or minor content update.” The newest version will ship with local co-op, fully voiced characters, new content, changes to the crafting system, and a “reworked” story. The game will be free to everyone who owns a copy of the original title.
According to the studio, “Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition is a completely separate game: not an update to Divinity: Original Sin. Both games will remain available on PC and Mac, and it is important to note that they are totally different entities, so if you’ve already bought Original Sin you’ll see separate listings for Divinity: Original Sin and Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition. This means that saved games can’t be transferred from Divinity: Original Sin to the Enhanced Edition. This is largely because of the technical changes we’ve made to how the game looks and feels, but the story has also been rewritten so heavily that most saved games would no longer be compatible with the plot.”
Divinity: Original Sin is one of my favorites games and I’m glad it’s coming to Xbox One. I was hoping for more than just a regular port and Larian Studios have definitely delivered. I can’t wait to play this.
