The speculation about The Game Awards reached a fever pitch, especially after presenter Geoff Keighley posted a mysterious photo of a strange statue. The secret has now been solved. Larian Studios is developing a brand-new Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was showcased with a daring trailer that included intense imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the very descent into chaos.
Not the Expected Sequel
Anyone hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio stated ahead of time that a third Original Sin game to its beloved RPGs is not currently in development.
That said, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a evolution of the core franchise. This distinction implies that the team could be designing a real-time experience rather than another tactical title. Currently, it remains theory, as only a announcement clip is available.
A Pillar of Modern RPGs
The Divinity series is universally respected and arguably it pioneered the modern wave of crunchy computer role-playing games. These games are defined by rich lore, branching plots, and complex character building—elements that recently reached new heights in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its world is familiar fare, what truly sets Divinity apart is the immense freedom granted to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have pared back options, Divinity is full of specialized paths that are viable if you're playing as a distinct build with a personal story.
The series is also famously permissive, enabling players to find creative solutions in narrative and gameplay. Most missions can be solved in diverse methods, often in surprising fashion.
- You might solve a puzzle because you remembered something a dog told you.
- Or, you could overcome an obstacle by teleporting a glob of lava in a inventive way.
More to Come
It is these creative systems that lead fans and critics to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as one of the best role-playing games in history. Now, players can get ready for a new entry in this legendary franchise.
