The buzz surrounding The Game Awards reached a fever pitch, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley posted a mysterious image of a desert monolith. The secret is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is working on a completely new Divinity game.

Announced as Divinity, the game was debuted with a daring trailer that included memorable imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the literal descent into chaos.

A Different Direction

Anyone expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. Larian clarified that a third Original Sin game to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not currently in development.

That said, the developer described this new Divinity as a next chapter of the main series. This distinction implies that the team is likely crafting a faster-paced experience rather than another turn-based title. For now, this is speculation, as only a announcement clip is available.

A Pillar of Modern RPGs

The Divinity series is highly rated and it's fair to claim it sparked the contemporary revival of crunchy computer role-playing games. These games are celebrated for intricate stories, branching plots, and deep class systems—qualities that later were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

While its setting is familiar fare, what truly sets Divinity apart is the unprecedented level of trust bestowed upon the player.

While numerous modern RPGs have pared back options, Divinity is full of unique possibilities you can achieve by choosing a distinct build with a personal story.

The series is also famously flexible, allowing players to improvise in narrative and gameplay. Nearly every quest can be approached in a variety of manners, often in lateral fashion.

• You might find an answer because you heeded something a non-human character said.
• Or, you could overcome an obstacle by teleporting a glob of lava in a clever way.

The Journey Continues

It is these creative systems that allow people to hail games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as among the greatest role-playing games ever made. Now, fans can anticipate more where that came from in this groundbreaking franchise.
