The anticipation surrounding the recent awards show reached a fever pitch, especially after host Geoff Keighley posted a puzzling photo of a strange statue. The secret has now been solved. Larian Studios is working on a brand-new Divinity game.

Titled simply Divinity, the game was debuted with a daring trailer featuring intense imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the very descent into chaos.

A Different Direction

For those expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. The studio clarified that a follow-up to its beloved RPGs is not currently in development.

Nevertheless, the developer described this new Divinity as a evolution of the core franchise. This choice of words implies that the team is likely crafting a more action-oriented experience rather than another tactical title. Currently, this is speculation, as only a announcement clip is available.

A Pillar of Modern RPGs

The Divinity series is widely praised and many say it pioneered the recent resurgence of deep computer role-playing games. These games are celebrated for rich lore, branching plots, and deep class systems—elements that recently were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

While its universe is familiar fare, what really distinguishes Divinity apart is the immense freedom given to the player.

While numerous modern RPGs have pared back options, Divinity is packed with niche playthroughs only possible if you're playing as a specific type of character with a unique decision path.

The series is also wonderfully flexible, letting players to improvise throughout the entire experience. Nearly every quest can be solved in multiple ways, often in surprising fashion.

• You might find an answer because you remembered something a dog told you.
• Or, you could overcome an obstacle by teleporting a glob of lava in a clever way.

More to Come

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