Divinity will support co-op play at launch, according to developer Larian Studios, confirming that players will be able to experience the upcoming RPG together from day one. The announcement clarifies one of the most requested features for the next project from the creators of Baldur’s Gate 3.
The confirmation came during a recent Reddit AMA, where Larian developers discussed multiplayer plans, party size flexibility, and the studio’s approach to mod support. While the exact number of supported co-op players remains undecided, Larian suggests the limit may be more open-ended than in previous games.
How Co-Op Will Work In Divinity
Larian Studios says Divinity’s co-op experience will depend on the game’s final party size, which is still being finalized. Unlike traditional four-player co-op limits seen in earlier RPGs, the studio is leaving room for expansion through post-launch updates and mods.
Developers emphasized that there will be no hard-coded cap preventing additional players from joining, especially once modding tools become available. This approach gives the Divinity co-op mode more flexibility than Baldur’s Gate 3 at launch.
Mod Support Plays A Key Role
Mod support is planned for Divinity and is expected to influence how multiplayer evolves over time. Larian confirmed that modders will have the freedom to extend party sizes beyond official limits, allowing for larger co-op groups if the community chooses to do so.
This design philosophy mirrors Larian’s long-term support strategy seen in past RPG releases, where community-driven features expanded gameplay well beyond launch.
AI Art Will Not Be Used In Divinity
Larian Studios also addressed concerns around generative AI, confirming that Divinity will not use AI-generated art assets. The studio stated that any internal AI tools would rely solely on Larian’s own previous work and not external datasets.
The clarification follows recent industry debate around generative AI in game development and reassures fans expecting the same handcrafted approach seen in Baldur’s Gate 3.
Release Timing And What Comes Next
Divinity currently does not have a confirmed release window, and Larian has not ruled out an early-access launch. Whether co-op will be available during early access or reserved for the full release remains unclear.
More details on multiplayer limits, mod tools, and launch timing are expected as development continues.
