Larian's Surprise Divinity Reveal Sparks Massive Back Catalogue Surge
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Larian Studios' surprise Divinity reveal at The Game Awards 2025 has triggered a massive resurgence for the developer's back catalogue, with Divinity: Original Sin 2 and Baldur's Gate 3 seeing massive spikes in sales and player activity.
The power of a strong studio reveal should never be underestimated, and Larian Studios is currently proving that point in a big way. Following their bloodthirsty and heavily discussed new Divinity announcement at The Game Awards 2025, players are rushing back to the developer's older titles. According to reporting by Eurogamer, Larian head Swen Vincke revealed that both Baldur's Gate 3 and Divinity: Original Sin 2 have experienced staggering sales surges since the showcase, with Original Sin 2 hitting its highest post-launch sales month since its original release back in 2017.
While Steam concurrent player charts do not always tell the full story of cross-platform sales, storefront discounts, and recent console updates, the numbers on PC remain impressive. Divinity: Original Sin 2 recently pulled in its best concurrent player numbers on Steam since the early days of the pandemic in March 2020. Baldur's Gate 3 is also maintaining massive numbers across PC and consoles, proving that Larian's audience treats the studio's entire catalogue as essential playing rather than one-off hits. This ongoing momentum is a testament to how deep player loyalty works in the modern RPG space.
Looking ahead, the excitement around the franchise is only going to scale further as Larian expands its platform footprint. The studio has hinted at potential Nintendo Switch 2 ports and renewed Steam Deck optimization support following their past successes. For players who live across multiple screens and value massive, systemic RPGs that respect their time, Larian remains a gold standard in a crowded market.
