I am very in on this.

I might be in a small boat on this, but I'd be down for another action RPG Divinty. The first half of Eco Draconis was actually pretty fun.

 

But then you turn into a dragon and the whole thing goes to shit.

RPG with the best turn-based combat getting a tactical successor checks out.

I've played Divinity: Fallen Heroes—here's what I learned about the new tactical spin-off (PC Gamer)

Fallen Heroes is a sequel to Original Sin 2, starring the same cast of characters but scaled down to, essentially, just the combat bits. There's a bit of an XCOM-like meta layer here, filtered through Larian's RPG systems. In between missions you'll click through story and dialogue options, and different rooms on the Lady Vengeance operate as simplified versions of XCOM's facilities. Don't go in expecting a sprawling base-building system, but there are upgrades to make to your ship and soldiers in between battles.

 

Divinity: Fallen Heroes is sort of XCOM for Divinity: Original Sin 2, but doesn't have its guns yet (Rock, Paper, Shotgun)

But y’know what? The OS2 combat is really clever, isn’t it? So, to put it another way: did you like the combat from Divinity: Original Sin 2? Keep an eye on the progress of Fallen Heroes. It’s currently supposed to be out later this year, so they’d better find them guns quickly.

Divinity: Fallen Heroes Hands-On: We Talk to Larian Studios About Its Surprising Divinity: Original Sin 2 Spinoff (USgamer)

Divinity: Fallen Heroes is based around these narrative choices. Who will you help? Who will you fail? As you make decisions, your Godwoken heroes will shift in response. You'll spend a lot of time on the Lady Vengeance, talking to your crew and getting into their feelings about your actions. It's not just about what you want to do, it's about managing these different internal factions. Long time Divinity fans will recognize this meta gameplay loop from a previous game.

Played this at Pax East and it’s pretty great.

Divinity: Fallen Heroes has been put on hold indefinitely

Quote

Divinity: Fallen Heroes, the tactical follow-up to Original Sin 2, has been put on hold, with Larian Studios and Logic Artists parting ways, at least for now. Announced earlier this year, a more battle-focused Divinity was an appealing prospect—unfortunately, it looks like the game will require more resources and time than Larian has available.

Fine with me as I haven't started  DOS2 yet.

[Firewithin]

While this is disappointing I guess that means they have more resources for BG3 which is good

[legend]

Fuck

[AshsToAshs]

Fuck!
I got to play it at PAX West and was very much looking forward to playing it co-op with my wife.

[Mr.Vic20]

I’m going to assume this was for the best, but i’m Still disappointed.
