The anticipation surrounding the recent awards show has been intense, especially after host Geoff Keighley shared an enigmatic photo of a desert monolith. The question is finally answered. Larian Studios is working on a completely new Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was showcased with a bold trailer featuring intense imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the very descent into chaos.
Not the Expected Sequel
For those anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. Larian clarified that a third Original Sin game to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not being worked on now.
Nevertheless, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a continuation of the main series. This distinction implies that the team might be crafting a more action-oriented experience instead of another tactical title. At this moment, this is speculation, as only a cinematic trailer is available.
A Pillar of Modern RPGs
The Divinity series is widely praised and it's fair to claim it kicked off the recent resurgence of complex computer role-playing games. These games are known for intricate stories, branching plots, and complex character building—elements that later found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its universe is classic fantasy, what makes Divinity apart is the remarkable agency granted to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is brimming with specialized paths only possible by choosing a specific type of character with a personal story.
The series is also notoriously open-ended, enabling players to improvise throughout the entire experience. Most missions can be completed in a variety of manners, often in lateral fashion.

A New Chapter Begins
