Not that there was much doubt, but now it’s confirmed, and it’s good news for Larian fans. Borislav Slavov, the creator of the Baldur’s Gate 3 and Divinity: Original Sin 2 soundtracks, is composing the music for the studio’s next game, Divinity.
“We wouldn’t be able to stop him even if we wanted to,” Larian boss Swen Vincke responded when asked about Borislav’s return during today’s AMA on Reddit. “He’s been very busy composing and recording new material. It’s pretty great.”

Slavov began working with Larian on Divinity: Original Sin 2 after the unexpected death of Kirill Pokrovsky, the composer on every Divinity game through Original Sin, in 2015.
