The anticipation around this year's gaming ceremony was significant, particularly after host Geoff Keighley posted an enigmatic photo of a strange statue. The question is finally answered. Larian Studios is working on a fresh Divinity game.

Announced as Divinity, the game was showcased with a daring trailer that included striking imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the very opening of infernal gates.

A Different Direction

For those hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. Larian warned that a direct sequel to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not on the cards right now.

However, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a next chapter of the main series. This distinction hints that the team could be building a real-time experience instead of another tactical title. At this moment, this is speculation, as only a teaser video is available.

A Pillar of Modern RPGs

The Divinity series is universally respected and many say it kicked off the recent resurgence of complex computer role-playing games. These games are defined by rich lore, branching plots, and flexible progression—qualities that subsequently found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

While its setting is familiar fare, what makes Divinity apart is the immense freedom granted to the player.

While numerous modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is brimming with niche playthroughs only possible with a particular class or origin with a specific history of choices.

The series is also notoriously permissive, enabling players to find creative solutions throughout the entire experience. Nearly every quest can be solved in a variety of manners, sometimes in lateral fashion.

• You might progress the story because you remembered something a non-human character said.
• Or, you could bypass a challenge by using the world itself in a inventive way.

More to Come

It is these creative systems that have cemented the series to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as a top-tier role-playing games ever made. Now, fans can get ready for another adventure in this legendary franchise.
