If I knew how, I'd post a GIF that demonstrated my utter excitement about this. The day after seeing Insomnium at Gramercy Theater? man, things don't get any better than this.

Will wait until I've played through D:OS Enhanced before getting excited.

rad_ical · August 12, 2015

D:Os was for me the best kickstarter i supported and one of the best rpg ive played - i will insta pledge - expecting Larians " RPG that will dwarf em all"

joxer · August 12, 2015

There it is.
Instapledge.

Edgy · August 12, 2015

That some brand recognition right there.
Divintiy: not so original 2nd sin™.

Hope for schedules, night\day cycle and better wirting.

cptbarkey · August 12, 2015

best news ever. i hope they stick with the same engine and just run with that with years and years of content.

Embolus · August 12, 2015

Fantastic, and they're even sticking to the formula that worked. That being said, I really did adore Dragon Knight Saga.

Tomato · August 12, 2015

I really want a Divinity: Original World Idea.

But hey OS2 will probably be another good RPG.

wiretripped · August 12, 2015

Instapledge. Hopefully they keep the co-op aspect.

Nephologist · August 12, 2015

I missed out on the D:OS kickstarter. I won't make that mistake again.

CelticFrost · August 12, 2015

That's pretty much confirmed. One of the German print mags wrote that Larian will save a lot of work on fundamental things (meaning engine, interface stuff, core game mechanics). According to them Larian even thinks it's 60% less work. This will be used for gameplay improvements and polishing.

It's also safe to assume that a lot of stuff for D:OS EE was really meant for D:OS II.

Yme · August 12, 2015

They will have my money.

Ivanwah · August 12, 2015

I'm yet to play Original Sin and I'm waiting for EE, but what I've seen of it makes me excited for the sequel.

Hi Everybody!

I’m so glad I can finally talk to you about this! It was getting hard to talk about what we’re doing without actually saying what we were doing, so I’m really relieved that it’s finally in the open and that I can share my excitement for this.

In case you missed it, I’m of course referring to our recent announcement that we’ll be returning to Kickstarter with Divinity: Original Sin 2; our biggest and most ambitious RPG to date — one that will either sink us, or go on to be remembered as our best game ever!

We’re saving the announcement of all the features for when the Kickstarter campaign launches on August 26th, so I won’t discuss those just yet. Instead, I thought I’d talk a little bit about why we’re returning to crowdfunding, and what our hopes and aspirations are…

Edit: lol haven't realised you posted it already.

D:OS is the first game I pledged on KS and I will pledge for this one too however I am wondering why do they need to go to KS again given the above? Do they not have enough money to self fund this?

All explained on Swen's blog.

I don't think it is about money this time; I think it is about fan participation.
