The buzz surrounding the recent awards show reached a fever pitch, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley shared a puzzling photo of a desert monolith. The mystery is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is creating a completely new Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was showcased with a bold trailer packed with memorable imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy 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 third Original Sin game to its venerated RPGs is not currently in development.
That said, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a continuation of the main series. This phrasing suggests that the team is likely crafting a real-time experience rather than another tactical title. For now, we can only guess, as only a announcement clip is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is universally respected and it's fair to claim it sparked the contemporary revival of deep computer role-playing games. These games are known for rich lore, branching plots, and flexible progression—qualities that later found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its setting is traditional swords and sorcery, what truly sets Divinity apart is the immense freedom bestowed upon the player.
Where many modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is brimming with specialized paths that are viable if you're playing as a distinct build with a personal story.
The series is also wonderfully permissive, enabling players to improvise both in story and combat. Virtually all objectives can be completed in a variety of manners, often in unexpected fashion.
- You might solve a puzzle because you recalled something a dog told you.
- Or, you could defeat a foe by teleporting a glob of lava in a inventive way.
More to Come
It is these creative systems that allow people to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as a top-tier role-playing games in history. Now, fans can get ready for another adventure in this legendary franchise.
