The buzz about the recent awards show was significant, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley posted an enigmatic image of a desert monolith. The mystery has been revealed. Larian Studios is working on a fresh Divinity game.

Titled simply Divinity, the game was presented with a daring trailer that included striking imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the very descent into chaos.

Not the Expected Sequel

Anyone expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio clarified that a direct sequel to its beloved RPGs is not currently in development.

However, the developer described this new Divinity as a evolution of the core franchise. This phrasing implies that the team could be building a faster-paced experience as opposed to another turn-based title. Currently, this is speculation, as only a announcement clip is available.

The Legacy of Divinity

The Divinity series is universally respected and arguably it kicked off the recent resurgence of complex computer role-playing games. These games are known for rich lore, player agency, and complex character building—qualities that recently reached new heights in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

While its setting is classic fantasy, what truly sets Divinity apart is the unprecedented level of trust granted to the player.

While numerous modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is brimming with unique possibilities you can achieve with a distinct build with a unique decision path.

The series is also famously open-ended, enabling players to improvise throughout the entire experience. Virtually all objectives can be approached in a variety of manners, often in unexpected fashion.

• You might progress the story because you remembered something a non-human character said.
• Or, you could bypass a challenge by moving environmental hazards in a inventive way.

More to Come

It is this design philosophy that have cemented the series to hail games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as a top-tier role-playing games in history. Now, players can get ready for a new entry in this legendary franchise.
