The speculation surrounding The Game Awards has been intense, notably after presenter Geoff Keighley posted an enigmatic image of a desert monolith. The question has been revealed. Larian Studios is creating a brand-new Divinity game.

Titled simply Divinity, the game was debuted with a daring trailer packed with intense imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the very opening of infernal gates.

Not the Expected Sequel

For those anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. Larian warned that a third Original Sin game to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not currently in development.

That said, the developer described this new Divinity as a continuation of the main series. This phrasing suggests that the team might be designing a real-time experience as opposed to another tactical title. For now, we can only guess, as only a cinematic trailer is available.

What Makes Divinity Special

The Divinity series is universally respected and arguably it sparked the recent resurgence of crunchy computer role-playing games. These games are known for detailed worlds, player agency, and deep class systems—elements that subsequently found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

While its world is classic fantasy, what really distinguishes Divinity apart is the unprecedented level of trust bestowed upon the player.

In contrast to modern RPGs have pared back options, Divinity is full of unique possibilities that are viable if you're playing as a particular class or origin with a specific history of choices.

The series is also notoriously flexible, enabling players to find creative solutions both in story and combat. Virtually all objectives can be completed in diverse methods, often in unexpected fashion.

• You might find an answer because you remembered something a dog told you.
• Or, you could overcome an obstacle by using the world itself in a inventive way.

A New Chapter Begins

It is these creative systems that allow people to declare games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as one of the best role-playing games ever made. Now, fans can anticipate another adventure in this legendary franchise.
