Divinity: Original Sin 2 Will Have Split-Screen Support, Crafting Features Revealed

Larian Studios has just posted a new Kickstarter update for Divinity: Original Sin 2, detailing some of the new features that we can expect to see in the game. You can check out the developer updated video for yourself down below.

As was the case in the first game, Divinity: Original Sin 2 will bring back split-screen co-op support, where you and a friend can play through the campaign together. In addition to that, the developers also provided some new details on the crafting systems.

• Skill Crafting – Create new skills by combining elemental and non-elemental books. For instance, combine Fire and Necromancy books to create a Corpse Explosion skill. Combine the same Necromancy book with a Water skill book to create Blood Rain.
• Source Skills – Accidentally killed an important character? Use the power of your Source Skills to talk to their spirits with Spirit Vision, or absorb their powers with Source Vampirism. And yes, you can talk to the ghosts of animals. Just make sure you have the Pet Pal talent.
• Rune Crafting – Find or craft runes to improve weapons and equipment. For example, combine wood and oil and enchant it with Pixie Dust to create the fire rune.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 is set to be released for PC on September 14.
