The anticipation surrounding The Game Awards has been intense, notably after presenter Geoff Keighley shared an enigmatic image of a strange statue. The mystery is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is creating a completely new Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was showcased with a bold trailer packed with intense imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the very unleashing of hell.
Not the Expected Sequel
For those expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. Larian warned that a direct sequel to its beloved RPGs is not being worked on now.
Nevertheless, the developer described this new Divinity as a continuation of the core franchise. This phrasing hints that the team could be crafting a more action-oriented experience instead of another tactical 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 many say it pioneered the modern wave of complex computer role-playing games. These games are defined by rich lore, choice-driven narratives, and deep class systems—traits that subsequently were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its universe is classic fantasy, what makes Divinity apart is the immense freedom granted to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is full of unique possibilities you can achieve with a distinct build with a unique decision path.
The series is also famously flexible, allowing players to experiment in narrative and gameplay. Nearly every quest can be approached in diverse methods, often in unexpected fashion.

A New Chapter Begins
It is this design philosophy that lead fans and critics to declare games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as one of the best role-playing games of all time. Now, fans can get ready for a new entry in this legendary franchise.
