Tidligere på året afslørede udvikleren bag Divinity: Original Sin II, Larian Studios, et nyt spil i samme serie ved navn Divinity: Fallen Heroes, en lidt hurtigere og strømlinet udgave af den eksisterende serie. Det skulle de angiveligvis arbejde på sammen med danske Logic Artists, men det er efterhånden lang tid siden vi har hørt noget fra det projekt.
Og det er der åbenbart en rigtig god grund til. Også i år løftede Larian nemlig sløret for Baldur's Gate III, og imens de arbejder på dette spil, så er Fallen Heroes-udviklingen sat på pause, og på ubestemt tid også.
På studiets forum slår de fast, at de endnu ikke ved hvornår de, sammen med Logic Artists, kan genoptage udviklingen.
"It is with a profound sense of regret that today we announce Divinity: Fallen Heroes has been put on hold, as we fondly celebrate the work done so far. We've been working with Logic Artists for over a year since before the announcement on March 27, 2019. Though enthused by the reception of the announcement and the energy of our fans, we have taken many things into consideration over the course of the last few months, and today we're ready to talk about its future.
Originally scheduled for a November 2019 release, it has become clear to everyone involved that the game will need far greater development time and resources than are available now to bring it to fruition, in a fun and sustainable way.
Going forward, we at Larian will continue to work on Baldur's Gate 3 with news coming soon, and Logic Artists will be focusing on their own Expeditions games. As an independent developer ourselves, we understand and value the importance of a developer investing into their own IPs, and their own future."
