The buzz surrounding this year's gaming ceremony has been intense, particularly after host Geoff Keighley shared an enigmatic photo of a strange statue. The question has been revealed. Larian Studios is developing a completely new Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was debuted with a bold trailer featuring intense imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the very descent into chaos.
A Different Direction
Anyone expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. The studio clarified that a third Original Sin game to its venerated RPGs is not being worked on now.
Nevertheless, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a next chapter of the core franchise. This choice of words implies that the team might be designing a real-time experience as opposed to another turn-based title. Currently, we can only guess, as only a cinematic trailer is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is highly rated and many say it pioneered the recent resurgence of deep computer role-playing games. These games are known for detailed worlds, choice-driven narratives, and flexible progression—qualities that recently were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its world is familiar fare, what truly sets Divinity apart is the unprecedented level of trust granted to the player.
In contrast to modern RPGs have pared back options, Divinity is full of specialized paths only possible if you're playing as a distinct build with a specific history of choices.
The series is also famously flexible, allowing players to improvise both in story and combat. Virtually all objectives can be approached in a variety of manners, sometimes in surprising fashion.

The Journey Continues
It is precisely these elements that have cemented the series to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as one of the best role-playing games ever made. Now, fans can look forward to a new entry in this groundbreaking franchise.
