The buzz about The Game Awards reached a fever pitch, notably after host Geoff Keighley shared a puzzling image of a strange statue. The question is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is developing a brand-new Divinity game.

Announced as Divinity, the game was presented with a audacious trailer featuring striking imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the very unleashing of hell.

A Different Direction

Anyone expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. Larian stated ahead of time that a follow-up to its beloved RPGs is not on the cards right now.

That said, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a next chapter of the main series. This distinction implies that the team could be designing a faster-paced experience rather than another tactical title. At this moment, we can only guess, as only a cinematic trailer is available.

A Pillar of Modern RPGs

The Divinity series is highly rated and it's fair to claim it sparked the recent resurgence of crunchy computer role-playing games. These games are celebrated for detailed worlds, player agency, and flexible progression—elements that subsequently found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

While its universe is classic fantasy, what truly sets Divinity apart is the remarkable agency bestowed upon the player.

While numerous modern RPGs have pared back options, Divinity is brimming with niche playthroughs that are viable with a particular class or origin with a unique decision path.

The series is also famously flexible, allowing players to experiment throughout the entire experience. Virtually all objectives can be approached in a variety of manners, often in surprising fashion.

• You might find an answer because you heeded something an animal companion shared.
• Or, you could bypass a challenge by moving environmental hazards in a unorthodox way.

More to Come

It is precisely these elements that have cemented the series to hail games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as among the greatest role-playing games ever made. Now, fans can look forward to more where that came from in this legendary franchise.
