Divinity: Original Sin 2 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Now Available on eShop with Free Upgrade Pack

Larian Studios, renowned for its critically acclaimed role-playing games, has officially announced the release of Divinity: Original Sin 2 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition worldwide.

Available now for digital purchase on the Nintendo eShop, this upgraded edition caters to Nintendo Switch 2 owners, delivering enhanced visuals and performance for both newcomers and long-time fans of the franchise. Divinity: Original Sin 2 originally launched to universal acclaim, taking home the prestigious BAFTA award for its innovative storytelling, deep character customization, and complex, turn-based combat.

In this narrative-driven RPG, players enter Rivellon—a fantasy world where the Gods have perished, and chaos looms.

Assuming the role of a sorcerer imprisoned at Fort Joy, players navigate the machinations of the Divine Order, encountering moral choices and uncovering secrets that will determine the fate of the realm. The newly released Nintendo Switch 2 Edition brings several improvements to the table.

The developer has confirmed that the "Switch 2 Upgrade Pack" increases both resolution and framerate, offering a smoother and more visually engaging experience.

Importantly, this upgrade is provided at no additional cost for users who already own the Nintendo Switch version of Divinity: Original Sin 2—simply download the update to experience the game’s enhancements.

For new players, the complete edition is available for digital purchase at £44.99 through the Nintendo eShop. Larian Studios laid out some of the defining features that set Divinity: Original Sin 2 apart on Nintendo Switch 2.

Players can select from five unique races—Human, Lizard, Elf, Dwarf, or Undead—and choose from six origin characters, each with their own unique backgrounds and personal quests.

Alternatively, players have the freedom to create a fully original character.

Every decision has consequences, with the world and its inhabitants reacting dynamically to player choices. The game is known for its unparalleled freedom; you can explore the world of Rivellon at your own pace, converse with any character, interact with all creatures—including animals and even ghosts—and shape the story as you see fit.

The sophisticated turn-based combat system allows experimentation with environmental effects, positional advantages, and over 200 distinct skills throughout 12 skill schools.

The latest edition leverages the power of the Nintendo Switch 2 hardware, ensuring fans can enjoy both solo play or online multiplayer with up to four participants in the most polished version available on Nintendo consoles. Divinity: Original Sin 2 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition represents a notable milestone for Larian Studios, further solidifying its reputation for pushing technical and narrative boundaries in the RPG genre.

With its arrival on the Nintendo eShop, Switch 2 users now have another critically acclaimed adventure to add to their libraries, complete with free next-gen upgrades and comprehensive multiplayer support.
