'Divinity: Original Sin 2' Release Date: New Trailers Introduce Beast, Details Combat Mechanics
Another spotlight trailer for "Divinity: Original Sin 2" has been released, this time telling the story of the "rabble-rousing" character called the Beast.
In the clip, Beast talks about his royal cousin, who happens to be a queen and a tyrant. She was the one who exiled him to a forsaken island and made sure he is unable to reach his allies for help by "making short work" of them.
However, as the "Divinity: Original Sin 2" character reveals, he was able to seize a ship, which he used to start a new life in the high seas. Unfortunately for him, it won't be long before this second life that he made for himself is once again in danger of ending as the queen will soon be on his tail again.
