The buzz surrounding The Game Awards reached a fever pitch, especially after host Geoff Keighley shared an enigmatic image of a desert monolith. The secret has now been solved. The acclaimed developer is working on a completely new Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was debuted with a bold trailer featuring intense imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to scenes of revelry and the literal descent into chaos.
Not the Expected Sequel
For those anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. Larian stated ahead of time that a follow-up to its beloved RPGs is not on the cards right now.
However, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a continuation of the main series. This phrasing suggests that the team might be building a more action-oriented experience instead of another turn-based title. For now, it remains theory, as only a cinematic trailer is available.
A Pillar of Modern RPGs
The Divinity series is universally respected and arguably it sparked the contemporary revival of complex computer role-playing games. These games are defined by detailed worlds, choice-driven narratives, and deep class systems—traits that recently reached new heights in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its universe is familiar fare, what makes Divinity apart is the immense freedom granted to the player.
In contrast to modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is brimming with unique possibilities you can achieve with a distinct build with a personal story.
The series is also wonderfully flexible, allowing players to experiment both in story and combat. Nearly every quest can be approached in multiple ways, frequently in lateral fashion.
- You might progress the story because you remembered something a non-human character said.
- Or, you could defeat a foe by teleporting a glob of lava in a unorthodox way.
More to Come
It is these creative systems that have cemented the series to hail games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as among the greatest role-playing games of all time. Now, fans can get ready for another adventure in this esteemed franchise.
