The speculation surrounding the recent awards show reached a fever pitch, especially after host Geoff Keighley posted an enigmatic photo of a strange statue. The question has been revealed. Larian Studios is working on a fresh Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was presented with a audacious trailer that included striking imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to scenes of revelry and the very opening of infernal gates.
Moving Beyond Original Sin
For those hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio warned that a third Original Sin game to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not being worked on now.
That said, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a evolution of the core franchise. This phrasing hints that the team is likely designing a real-time experience instead of another turn-based title. For now, it remains theory, as only a cinematic trailer is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is highly rated and arguably it sparked the modern wave of complex computer role-playing games. These games are celebrated for intricate stories, branching plots, and flexible progression—traits that later reached new heights in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its world is classic fantasy, what truly sets Divinity apart is the unprecedented level of trust given to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is packed with unique possibilities only possible if you're playing as a specific type of character with a unique decision path.
The series is also notoriously permissive, allowing players to improvise both in story and combat. Most missions can be completed in a variety of manners, frequently in lateral fashion.
