Larian Studios has released its award-winning RPG, Divinity: Original Sin 2 – Definitive Edition, for iPad and iPad Pro devices. From today you will be able to download the title from the iOS App Store.
This port of the award-winning RPG has been handled by Elverils, a development studio based in Saint Petersburg who have spent two years building it from the ground up to create a 1:1 experience on par with the version seen on PC and consoles.
What this means is the entire Divinity: Original Sin 2 experience can now be done from your iPad without any sacrifices made to the quality of the graphics or gameplay. The whole thing has been faithfully recreated for handheld users.
By taking advantage of the latest Apple hardware, some optimisations have been made to ensure the experience is very smooth on iPads. Touch control support is now a given, allowing you to play without the need for a controller or keyboard and mouse (though these peripherals are still supported), and there’s a new user interface to accommodate the smaller screen.
Elverils aimed to match the ambition that Divinity: Original Sin 2 had originally targeted, and so the iOS version runs on ‘Highest’ graphics settings on the 2018 iPad Pro model, while the 2021 model also runs it at 60fps, even during splitscreen local co-op.
The game’s popular drop-in and drop-out co-op gameplay also makes a return, and also offers cross-play with the PC and Mac versions, meaning you can venture out on quests with your friends who may be playing the game on different systems. There’s also a cross-save feature with Mac too, allowing you to pick up your progress where you left off on multiple devices.
You can download Divinity: Original Sin 2 now from the iOS App Store, where it is a paid title that costs $24.99. It also includes all Gift Bag DLCs.
