The anticipation surrounding the recent awards show reached a fever pitch, notably after presenter Geoff Keighley shared a mysterious photo of a strange statue. The question is finally answered. Larian Studios is creating a completely new Divinity game.

Announced as Divinity, the game was presented with a audacious trailer featuring intense imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the literal unleashing of hell.

A Different Direction

For those hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. The studio stated ahead of time that a third Original Sin game to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not being worked on now.

However, the developer described this new Divinity as a continuation of the core franchise. This phrasing hints that the team is likely building a more action-oriented experience rather than another turn-based title. For now, we can only guess, as only a cinematic trailer is available.

What Makes Divinity Special

The Divinity series is widely praised and it's fair to claim it sparked the contemporary revival of complex computer role-playing games. These games are celebrated for intricate stories, branching plots, and deep class systems—qualities that recently were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

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

While numerous modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is packed with specialized paths only possible if you're playing as a particular class or origin with a specific history of choices.

The series is also famously flexible, allowing players to find creative solutions in narrative and gameplay. Virtually all objectives can be completed in diverse methods, frequently in surprising fashion.

• You might solve a puzzle because you remembered something a dog told you.
• Or, you could defeat a foe by using the world itself in a clever way.

The Journey Continues

It is these creative systems that have cemented the series to declare games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as one of the best role-playing games of all time. Now, the RPG community can anticipate another adventure in this legendary franchise.
