The speculation about the recent awards show was significant, especially after host Geoff Keighley shared a mysterious image of a strange statue. The mystery has now been solved. Larian Studios is working on a brand-new Divinity game.

Titled simply Divinity, the game was presented with a audacious trailer that included intense imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the very descent into chaos.

A Different Direction

Anyone anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. Larian stated ahead of time that a follow-up to its venerated RPGs is not currently in development.

Nevertheless, the developer described this new Divinity as a continuation of the core franchise. This phrasing suggests that the team is likely crafting a real-time experience instead of another turn-based title. At this moment, it remains theory, as only a teaser video is available.

The Legacy of Divinity

The Divinity series is highly rated and it's fair to claim it kicked off the contemporary revival of complex computer role-playing games. These games are celebrated for rich lore, choice-driven narratives, and complex character building—elements that subsequently reached new heights in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

While its setting is familiar fare, what truly sets Divinity apart is the remarkable agency bestowed upon the player.

In contrast to modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is full of specialized paths only possible with a specific type of character with a specific history of choices.

The series is also notoriously permissive, allowing players to find creative solutions both in story and combat. Most missions can be solved in a variety of manners, often in unexpected fashion.

• You might solve a puzzle because you heeded something an animal companion shared.
• Or, you could bypass a challenge by using the world itself in a unorthodox way.

More to Come

It is precisely these elements that allow people to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as among the greatest role-playing games of all time. Now, players can look forward to a new entry in this esteemed franchise.
