Larian Studios Announces Divinity: Fallen Heroes at PAX East

Divinity: Original Sin II publisher Larian Studios has announced a new game made in collaboration with Logic Artists. Divinity: Fallen Heroes is a standalone game in the Original Sin II universe that combines tactical gameplay with RPG choices and consequences.

Fallen Heroes is run with the same engine as Original Sin II, however it adds new features and mechanics, so it should shake things up a bit when it releases on multiple platforms later this year.

The game's official description reads:

Delve deeper into the world of Rivellon as you command your troops aboard the Lady Vengeance. Explore new lands and wield new weapons and skills. Build your squad and vanquish never-before seen corners of Rivellon. Divinity: Fallen Heroes features two player cooperative play as well as a single player mode.

A new threat looms over Rivellon. Lead aboard the Lady Vengeance and enlist the help of new and existing heroes. Join Malady, Fane, Ifan, Lohse, Sebille, Red Emperor and Beast in a tactical game with all the depth of an RPG.

Aboard the Lady Vengeance, manage your crew through diplomacy. Your choices affect everything. Lose faith and you lose heroes. Rally your troops, and you restore hope.

Vanquish the deserts of the Lizard Empire and the snowy climate of the Dwarven Kingdom. Master a revised combat system and take on over 60 missions with narrative objectives where your decisions greatly affect the story.

Key features of Fallen Heroes include:

• Gunpower comes to Divinity. Lock'n'load with an arsenal of guns and rifles.
• Oil, Fire, Ice, Water and Poison surfaces are joined by the new Sulfurium surface, affecting hero positioning on the battlefield.
• Play with mysterious hero character Malady for the first time in a Divinity game, as well as an all-new character. Or take control of the famous Godwoken.
• Select from 30+ different unit types to create the perfect squad, and equip them with over 200 skills.
• Decide which technology to research and what artefacts to obtain to give your troops that extra oomph.
• Simultaneous Co-op Gameplay allowing you to take turns and combine abilities at the same time.
• Unlock devastating source powers for your flying battleship, The Lady Vengeance, that will turn the tide of battle.
• Recruit unique veteran troops, but be careful: if you lose them in battle, they are gone for good.
• Optional objectives and challenges will push your tactical acumen to its limits.

An early version of Divinity: Fallen Heroes will be playable at PAX East in Boston, March 28th, to allow the development team to gather feedback from the community. Hands-on for press can be organised.
