What is happening now

Divine Divinity is a 2002 PC role-playing game that blends hack-and-slash combat with adventure exploration. Developed by Larian Studios, it laid early groundwork for what would become the studio's flagship series. The game has surfaced in recent industry discussion following comments from Star Trek Online's executive producer, who reflected on how different gaming's landscape might look had Larian faced closure after Divine Divinity's release. His remarks touched on broader industry concerns about publisher decisions to dismantle established development teams rather than nurture long-term studio growth, drawing attention back to Larian's early output and the risks inherent in abandoning proven developers.
