The psychological thriller will be the first game self-published by DONTNOD and is coming out later this year on PC, PlayStation®4 and Xbox One™.
DONTNOD Entertainment is delighted to unveil a new teaser for its narrative video game Twin Mirror™. Premiering exclusively during the PC Gaming Show, this teaser features the complex character of Sam Higgs in a new adventure from the DONTNOD studio, renowned for its multiple award-winning series Life is Strange™.
Building on its partnership with Epic Games for the distribution of Twin Mirror™, DONTNOD was able to become a publisher for the first time and extend the development of this title. This extra time will allow the team to better realize their creative vision. In parallel, the studio has also surrounded itself with a co-producer on the title, Shibuya Productions. To further meet the expectations of the community and fans of narrative adventure games, the experience has been completely redesigned to allow players to enjoy this psychological thriller without interruption. Originally planned as an episodic game, Twin Mirror™ will be released in a single full experience in 2020.
Sam Higgs was done with Basswood, West Virginia, but it seems it wasn’t done with him. When the former investigative journalist returns to his hometown to say a final farewell to his best friend, it soon becomes clear that there are more chapters to be written in his troubled history.
Forced to confront his past, Sam finds himself torn between reconnecting with his loved ones and using his unique intellectual abilities to uncover the town’s dark secrets. But how do you know who to trust when you’re not even sure you can trust yourself?
As his investigation progresses, Sam will uncover a web of intrigue that winds through Basswood’s evocative locations and draws in its colorful residents. The same deductive reasoning and memory visualization skills that made Sam such an accomplished investigative journalist can help him untangle this mystery and unlock the truth buried deep within his unique mind.
Every decision, every interaction, every discovery will influence the direction of Sam’s investigation and ultimately determine how much of himself he’s willing to sacrifice. There are no right or wrong answers – Each player will live a truly unique experience tailored by their very own decisions.
Twin Mirror™ is the first title self-published by DONTNOD and co-produced with Shibuya Productions. The digital PC version of the game will be exclusively available on the Epic Games Store for one year.

DUBLIN — June 14, 2020 — Larian Studios has announced “The Four Relics Of Rivellon,” the next free Gift Bag DLC available today for Divinity: Original Sin 2, the critically acclaimed RPG that landed on Nintendo Switch last year with a 94 Metacritic rating.
The studio also announced the graphic novel “Divinity: Original Sin – Godwoken,” an original story leading up to the events of Divinity: Original Sin 2 from the perspective of Rivellon’s six godwoken: Ifan, Lohse, Red Prince, Sebille, Fane and Beast. Journey to never-before seen parts of Rivellon through over 300 full-color pages. Discover more about the origins of the godwoken, including Red Prince’s life as the crown jewel of the Forgotten City, Ifan’s experience as the Divine’s right-hand man, and the lives of Sebille, Beast and Lohse up to the moments of the ill-fated Kraken attack.
This beautifully printed graphic novel will be available as both a Limited Edition hardcover and Standard Edition softcover. It is available to pre-order at shop.larian.com.
“The Four Relics of Rivellon” is the fifth free DLC drop to be added to all versions of Divinity: Original Sin 2 across PlayStation®4, Xbox One, Nintendo 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 Fool’s Theory.
Players can set out on a new adventure, featuring new voice recording and narration, as well as dastardly new fights and the Undead Dragon boss. Players will be rewarded for completing these new quests with four armor sets scattered all over Rivellon and imbued with magical properties.
The four sets of armor include:
Captain Armor: A set of armor that can dominate the minds of those around it. Each piece also boosts Lucky Charm, Persuasion and Bartering.
Vulture Armor: A light set of armor that, when complete, gives the wearer permanent vulture-like wings. Full set enhances range and damage dealt from higher ground.
Contamination Armor: An ancient set of armor created from magic 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 Armor: Said to make its wearer almost invincible. In combat, the armor will mark a certain target in range. 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. 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.

The studio is now the developer and publisher of Baldur’s Gate 3.
Larian Studios released some good news for RPG fans patiently waiting for Baldur’s Gate 3. The developers announced tentative plans for an August Steam Early Access release if all goes well. The date already accounts for the slight road bump experienced by the dev team due to the transition to a work from home policy caused by COVID-19. While certain jobs can be done remotely without issues, things like motion capture have been difficult without the right equipment.
Larian Studios also released two new videos. The first is a brand new trailer that sets the tone of the game and gives a little plot teaser. The second is the latest community update on development. The first half of the video is the trailer, while the second talks about the early access plans, what may delay the launch, and improvements since the game was shown off at PAX East 2020.
Baldur’s Gate 3 will be part of the D&D Live 2020: Roll w/ Advantage webcast. Larian Studios will be livestreaming some gameplay, so stay tuned!
