The anticipation around The Game Awards was significant, particularly after host Geoff Keighley shared a puzzling photo of a desert monolith. The secret is finally answered. Larian Studios is creating a brand-new Divinity game.

Revealed to be Divinity, the game was debuted with a bold trailer featuring striking imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the literal unleashing of hell.

Not the Expected Sequel

For those expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio warned that a direct sequel to its beloved RPGs is not on the cards right now.

That said, the developer described this new Divinity as a next chapter of the main series. This choice of words suggests that the team is likely building a more action-oriented experience rather than another turn-based title. At this moment, it remains theory, as only a cinematic trailer is available.

A Pillar of Modern RPGs

The Divinity series is universally respected and arguably it kicked off the recent resurgence of deep computer role-playing games. These games are defined by intricate stories, choice-driven narratives, and deep class systems—elements that subsequently reached new heights in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

While its world is traditional swords and sorcery, what really distinguishes Divinity apart is the remarkable agency bestowed upon the player.

Where many modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is packed with specialized paths you can achieve with a distinct build with a personal story.

The series is also wonderfully open-ended, enabling players to experiment throughout the entire experience. Most missions can be completed in multiple ways, often in surprising fashion.

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

More to Come

It is this design philosophy that allow people to hail games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as one of the best role-playing games ever made. Now, fans can get ready for a new entry in this esteemed franchise.
