The speculation about The Game Awards has been intense, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley posted a puzzling image of a desert monolith. The question has now been solved. Larian Studios is developing a completely new Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was debuted with a daring trailer that included memorable imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to scenes of revelry and the very descent into chaos.
Not the Expected Sequel
Anyone hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio clarified that a follow-up to its venerated RPGs is not on the cards right now.
However, the developer described this new Divinity as a continuation of the core franchise. This distinction suggests that the team might be building a real-time experience rather than another turn-based title. For now, we can only guess, as only a announcement clip is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is widely praised and many say it kicked off the modern wave of complex computer role-playing games. These games are known for rich lore, choice-driven narratives, and deep class systems—traits that recently found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its universe is classic fantasy, what makes Divinity apart is the immense freedom given to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is brimming with specialized paths you can achieve with a distinct build with a specific history of choices.
The series is also notoriously permissive, allowing players to improvise throughout the entire experience. Nearly every quest can be approached in a variety of manners, often in unexpected fashion.
- You might progress the story because you heeded something an animal companion shared.
- Or, you could bypass a challenge by using the world itself 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 a top-tier role-playing games of all time. Now, fans can anticipate another adventure in this groundbreaking franchise.
