The anticipation about The Game Awards has been intense, notably after host Geoff Keighley posted a puzzling image of a desert monolith. The secret has now been solved. Larian Studios is working on a brand-new Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was presented with a audacious trailer packed with memorable imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the very descent into chaos.
Moving Beyond Original Sin
Anyone 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 on the cards right now.
However, the developer described this new Divinity as a continuation of the main series. This phrasing implies that the team could be designing a real-time experience rather than another turn-based title. For now, we can only guess, as only a cinematic trailer is available.
The Legacy of Divinity
The Divinity series is universally respected and many say it pioneered the recent resurgence of crunchy computer role-playing games. These games are defined by rich lore, player agency, and flexible progression—elements that recently found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its universe is familiar fare, what really distinguishes Divinity apart is the immense freedom granted to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is packed with niche playthroughs only possible by choosing a particular class or origin with a unique decision path.
The series is also famously open-ended, allowing players to experiment in narrative and gameplay. Virtually all objectives can be solved in a variety of manners, sometimes in surprising fashion.

More to Come
It is precisely these elements that lead fans and critics to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as a top-tier role-playing games of all time. Now, fans can get ready for another adventure in this esteemed franchise.
