The speculation around the recent awards show reached a fever pitch, notably after host Geoff Keighley shared a puzzling photo of a desert monolith. The secret has been revealed. The acclaimed developer is creating a fresh Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was presented with a bold trailer featuring striking imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the very descent into chaos.
Not the Expected Sequel
Anyone hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. Larian clarified that a direct sequel to its beloved RPGs is not on the cards right now.
However, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a continuation of the main series. This choice of words suggests that the team is likely building a real-time experience instead of another tactical title. For now, this is speculation, as only a teaser video is available.
A Pillar of Modern RPGs
The Divinity series is universally respected and many say it pioneered the contemporary revival of crunchy computer role-playing games. These games are defined by rich lore, choice-driven narratives, and deep class systems—traits that later found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its setting is classic fantasy, what makes Divinity apart is the remarkable agency bestowed upon the player.
Where many modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is full of unique possibilities you can achieve with a specific type of character with a personal story.
The series is also famously flexible, enabling players to experiment both in story and combat. Nearly every quest can be approached in multiple ways, often in unexpected fashion.
- You might progress the story because you heeded something a dog told you.
- Or, you could overcome an obstacle by using the world itself in a unorthodox way.
A New Chapter Begins
It is precisely these elements that allow people to hail games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as a top-tier role-playing games of all time. Now, fans can get ready for another adventure in this legendary franchise.
