Divinity’s lead hints at a new feature for the series that’s notably absent in Baldur’s Gate 3, prompting fans to react with excitement.

Larian’s upcoming Divinity RPG is set to introduce a feature that hasn’t appeared in any previous titles in the series or in Baldur’s Gate 3, and many fans are speculating that it could be the ability to swim.

During a recent AMA on Reddit, Nick Pechenin, the head of design, was asked about the new mechanics he’s most excited about. While he didn’t reveal specifics, his hints have led many to believe they know what’s coming.

“There was something that bothered me when I explored the starting areas of DOS1, DOS2, and BG3,” Pechenin shared. “It’s something that’s right in front of you if you think about it. In Divinity, I can finally do the thing I wanted to do in every previous game.”

It’s interesting to note that bodies of water are a common feature in the opening areas of Divinity: Original Sin, its sequel, and Baldur’s Gate 3. Each game starts in beach-like settings with inviting waters nearby. The addition of swimming—or perhaps even a fishing mechanic—would certainly address that “staring you right in the face” absence.

“Swimming confirmed,” reads the top reply to Pechenin’s comment, which has garnered nearly 600 upvotes.

“I always found it odd that all three games start you on the beach, yet there’s no swimming in that beautiful clear water,” another popular comment notes.

While nothing is officially confirmed, if swimming is indeed what Pechenin is hinting at, it would suggest that the game’s opening area will once again feature a beach setting, and that’s something fans are likely to welcome.
