Press release:
DUBLIN, 2020 – Larian Studios today announced and released the next free Gift Bag DLC “The Four Relics Of Rivellon” for Divinity: Original Sin 2, the critically acclaimed RPG that landed on Switch last year with a 94 Metacritic rating.

The studio also announced the graphic novel “Divinity: Original Sin – Godwoken”, telling the accumulated history of the six godwoken of Divinity: Original Sin 2.

The graphic novel Divinity: Original Sin – Godwoken features the origin stories of Rivellon’s godwoken; Ifan, Lohse, Red Prince, Sebille, Fane and Beast. It explores the events leading up to the story in Divinity: Original Sin 2, from the perspective of all 6 of the Godwoken.

The 300+ page full-colour graphic novel will take readers on a journey through never-before seen areas of Rivellon. Ever wondered what Fane looked like in the flesh? Curious about Red Prince’s life as the crown jewel of the Forgotten City? Journey with Ifan as the Divine’s right-hand man, and explore the lives of Sebille, Beast, and Lohse up to the moments of the ill-fated Kraken attack.

The graphic novel will be released as two editions: the Limited Edition hardcover, and Standard Edition softcover version. It is available for pre-order at shop.larian.com.

The Four Relics of Rivellon is the fifth free DLC drop to be patched into all versions of Divinity: Original Sin 2, across PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. It is the largest Gift Bag for the game so far, adding brand-new quest lines, stories and enemies. It has been developed in collaboration with Anshar Studios and Fools Theory.

Players will be able to set out on a new adventure, hunting for four armour sets that are scattered all over Rivellon, on quests that feature new voice recording and narration, as well as dastardly new fights, and the Undead Dragon boss. The reward for completing the new quests is four new armour sets imbued with magical properties.

The four sets of Armour are:

Captain Armour
A set of Armour that can dominate the minds of those around it. Each piece also boosts Lucky Charm, Persuasion and Bartering.

Vulture Armour
A light set of Armour that when complete, gives the wearer permanent vulture-like wings. Full set enhances range and damage dealt from higher ground.

Contamination Armour
An ancient set of Armour created from magic that was thought lost long ago. Each piece offers resistance to poison and the entire set grants immunity to poison along with a special ability to spawn exploding spores that will damage enemies in combat.

Devourer Armour
A set of Armour said to make its wearer almost invincible. In combat, the Armour will mark a certain target in range and any attacks on this target cannot miss and will deal extra damage.

As ever, the contents of each Gift Bag are accessible via the in-game menu, where players can independently enable or disable each individual feature. Of course, these are compatible with all prior Gift Bags (Beauty Salon and Song Of Nature), and players are free to enable as many or as few as they’d like.

Please note that once enabled, these features will roll over to your saves on PC, or vice versa on Switch if you have cloud save transfers enabled. These new features come free and are automatically downloaded to the game.
