The speculation about the recent awards show reached a fever pitch, particularly after host Geoff Keighley posted a mysterious photo of a desert monolith. The secret is finally answered. Larian Studios is working on a brand-new Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was presented with a audacious trailer that included intense imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to scenes of revelry and the very descent into chaos.
A Different Direction
Anyone expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. Larian warned that a third Original Sin game to its venerated RPGs is not on the cards right now.
That said, the developer described this new Divinity as a next chapter of the core franchise. This phrasing suggests that the team is likely crafting a real-time experience rather than another turn-based title. At this moment, it remains theory, 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 deep computer role-playing games. These games are defined by rich lore, player agency, and complex character building—traits that subsequently were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its universe is familiar fare, what truly sets Divinity apart is the unprecedented level of trust given to the player.
While numerous modern RPGs have pared back options, Divinity is full of unique possibilities you can achieve if you're playing as a distinct build with a specific history of choices.
The series is also notoriously open-ended, letting players to experiment both in story and combat. Virtually all objectives can be completed in multiple ways, often in surprising fashion.
- You might progress the story because you remembered something an animal companion shared.
- Or, you could defeat a foe by using the world itself in a unorthodox way.
The Journey Continues
