National Language Month or "Buwan ng Wika" in Filipino is
just a few months away, but it seems that Filipino hardcore gamers will have a new
reason to celebrate the said occasion and it's all thanks to no less than
Bandai Namco Entertainment Asia.
The gaming company that has brought Tekken and Dark Souls to gaming
communities across Southeast Asia has officially announced that Divinity:
Original Sin 2, the award-winning BAFTA-nominated role playing game from Larian
Studios, is set to make its way on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One systems on
August 2018 where console players can enjoy their own piece of adventure in one
of the deepest RPG worlds ever made.
Following its incredible success last year as Metacritic's
highest-scoring PC game, Divinity: Original Sin 2 will give PS4 and Xbox One
owners the chance to have freedom on a sandbox RPG where rules are made to be
bent than followed. Players will be immersed into the world of Rivellon where
they can go anywhere, talk to anyone including the living dead, and fully
interact with the game's environments and atmosphere like no other RPG before.
The game features six unique characters with their own full-pledged backstories,
personalities and questlines. These include the haughty and heroic lizard noble
Red Prince, the elven assassin Sebille, the possessed musician Lohse, an ex-soldier
turned mercenary Ifan Ben-Mezd, the rebel-turned-pirate dwarf Beast, and the undead
Fane from a long-forgotten Eternal race. Meanwhile, any console player who is
playing Divinity: Original Sin 2 for the first time will enjoy a user interface
tailor-made for them even in four-player online and two-player split-screen cooperative
modes.
It is interesting to see that the success of Divinity: Original Sin 2
for the PC would not have been possible without the support of gaming
communities around the world considering that it has raised more than US$2
million from more than 40,000 backers through a successful Kickstarter campaign
which began in August 2016. Prior to the game's official launch and release, gamers
can expect additional content updates and extra features in the weeks and
months to come.
