The anticipation around the recent awards show has been intense, especially after host Geoff Keighley shared an enigmatic photo of a strange statue. The question has now been solved. Larian Studios is creating a brand-new Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was presented with a bold trailer featuring intense imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the literal opening of infernal gates.
Not the Expected Sequel
Anyone hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. The studio clarified that a direct sequel to its beloved RPGs is not being worked on now.
However, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a evolution of the main series. This distinction implies that the team is likely crafting a real-time experience as opposed to another tactical title. At this moment, we can only guess, as only a announcement clip is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is highly rated and many say it pioneered the contemporary revival of crunchy computer role-playing games. These games are defined by rich lore, player agency, and deep class systems—traits that recently reached new heights in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its world is familiar fare, what makes Divinity apart is the immense freedom granted to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is packed with unique possibilities only possible by choosing a specific type of character with a personal story.
The series is also wonderfully flexible, allowing players to experiment both in story and combat. Virtually all objectives can be approached in a variety of manners, frequently in unexpected fashion.
- You might find an answer because you heeded something a non-human character said.

A New Chapter Begins
It is these creative systems that have cemented the series to declare games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as a top-tier role-playing games in history. Now, players can anticipate another adventure in this legendary franchise.
