The anticipation surrounding The Game Awards was significant, notably after presenter Geoff Keighley posted a mysterious photo of a strange statue. The question has been revealed. The acclaimed developer is developing a brand-new Divinity game.

Announced as Divinity, the game was presented with a bold trailer packed with intense imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the very opening of infernal gates.

Not the Expected Sequel

For those expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. Larian clarified that a third Original Sin game 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 phrasing suggests that the team is likely building a faster-paced experience rather than another turn-based title. For now, this is speculation, as only a cinematic trailer is available.

A Pillar of Modern RPGs

The Divinity series is highly rated and arguably it sparked the contemporary revival of complex computer role-playing games. These games are defined by intricate stories, branching plots, and deep class systems—elements that later were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

While its setting is classic fantasy, what truly sets Divinity apart is the remarkable agency given to the player.

In contrast to modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is packed with specialized paths you can achieve with a particular class or origin with a specific history of choices.

The series is also notoriously open-ended, enabling players to find creative solutions throughout the entire experience. Most missions can be completed in multiple ways, sometimes in unexpected fashion.

• You might find an answer because you remembered something an animal companion shared.
• Or, you could defeat a foe by using the world itself in a inventive way.

The Journey Continues

It is these creative systems that lead fans and critics to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as among the greatest role-playing games ever made. Now, players can look forward to more where that came from in this legendary franchise.
