Okay, so it looks like Larian Studios, the folks behind the smash hit Baldur's Gate 3, are already eyeing up Nintendo's next console for their upcoming Divinity release. This isn't exactly earth-shattering news, but it's definitely something fans of the series, and Nintendo enthusiasts in general, will want to hear.
Divinity on Switch 2? Larian Drops HUGE Hint! What...
The news comes straight from the digital horse's mouth, with Larian's technical director, u/Bert_Larian (gotta love Reddit AMAs!), confirming they're "certainly considering" bringing Divinity to the Switch 2. What's fueling this interest? Well, according to Bert, "We love the platform." That's pretty straightforward, isn't it? They've had a positive experience with Nintendo in the past, specifically mentioning their successful port of Divinity Original Sin 2 to the original Switch.
And that experience definitely plays a factor here. Porting a game as complex as Divinity Original Sin 2 to the Switch was no small feat, and they clearly managed to pull it off. I remember being genuinely impressed with how well it ran, even with the Switch's limitations. The fact that they're already talking about the Switch 2 suggests they're confident in their ability to adapt their games to Nintendo's hardware. Which is good news all around.
But it's not just about past success. Bert also acknowledged the popularity of Baldur's Gate 3 on the Nintendo platform (presumably referring to the PC version played on Steam Deck and similar devices, since it's not actually *on* Switch yet). He reassured the community that Larian would "do our best to again release on the platform," highlighting the importance of the Nintendo audience to them.
Now, "certainly considering" isn't a guarantee, of course. Game development is a complex process with countless hurdles. But the fact that they're even discussing it this early in the Switch 2's lifecycle is a promising sign. It suggests Larian sees the potential in the new hardware and is willing to put in the work to make it happen. I, for one, would love to see a beautifully optimized Divinity title gracing the screen of the next Nintendo console. It would be a great addition to the library.
So, keep your fingers crossed, folks! While we don't have a concrete confirmation yet, the possibility of Divinity on the Switch 2 is definitely on the table. And with Larian's track record and enthusiasm for the platform, it's a possibility worth getting excited about.
