The speculation surrounding The Game Awards has been intense, particularly after host Geoff Keighley shared an enigmatic photo of a strange statue. The question is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is developing a completely new Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was presented with a bold trailer featuring intense imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to scenes of revelry and the very descent into chaos.
Not the Expected Sequel
For those expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. Larian warned that a direct sequel to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not being worked on now.
That said, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a next chapter of the main series. This phrasing hints that the team could be designing a faster-paced experience rather than another tactical title. For now, this is speculation, as only a teaser video is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is highly rated and many say it kicked off the modern wave of complex computer role-playing games. These games are known for rich lore, branching plots, and complex character building—elements that recently were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its universe is traditional swords and sorcery, what makes Divinity apart is the immense freedom granted to the player.
While numerous modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is packed with specialized paths you can achieve if you're playing as a particular class or origin with a specific history of choices.
The series is also famously flexible, enabling players to improvise both in story and combat. Most missions can be completed in diverse methods, often in surprising fashion.
- You might find an answer because you remembered something an animal companion shared.
- Or, you could overcome an obstacle by moving environmental hazards in a clever way.
A New Chapter Begins
It is precisely these elements that have cemented the series to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as among the greatest role-playing games in history. Now, players can anticipate another adventure in this groundbreaking franchise.
