The anticipation surrounding The Game Awards reached a fever pitch, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley shared a mysterious photo of a desert monolith. The question has been revealed. Larian Studios is working on a completely new Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was presented with a bold trailer featuring memorable imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the very opening of infernal gates.
A Different Direction
For those hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. Larian clarified that a third Original Sin game to its venerated RPGs is not currently in development.
Nevertheless, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a next chapter of the main series. This phrasing implies that the team is likely building a real-time experience as opposed to another tactical title. For now, it remains theory, as only a teaser video is available.
The Legacy of Divinity
The Divinity series is highly rated and many say it pioneered the contemporary revival of complex computer role-playing games. These games are defined by intricate stories, branching plots, and flexible progression—traits that later were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its setting is classic fantasy, what makes Divinity apart is the unprecedented level of trust granted to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is packed with unique possibilities that are viable by choosing a particular class or origin with a personal story.
The series is also notoriously permissive, allowing players to find creative solutions throughout the entire experience. Virtually all objectives can be completed in multiple ways, sometimes in surprising fashion.
- You might solve a puzzle because you recalled something an animal companion shared.
- Or, you could overcome an obstacle by using the world itself in a clever way.
More to Come
It is these creative systems that lead fans and critics to declare games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as one of the best role-playing games of all time. Now, fans can get ready for another adventure in this legendary franchise.
