The speculation surrounding the recent awards show has been intense, particularly after host Geoff Keighley shared a mysterious image of a desert monolith. The mystery is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is working on a brand-new Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was presented with a daring trailer that included striking imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the literal unleashing of hell.
A Different Direction
Anyone hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. Larian warned that a follow-up to its beloved RPGs is not on the cards right now.
Nevertheless, the developer described this new Divinity as a evolution of the main series. This distinction implies that the team could be designing a real-time experience as opposed to another tactical title. At this moment, it remains theory, as only a teaser video is available.
A Pillar of Modern RPGs
The Divinity series is widely praised and arguably it kicked off the contemporary revival of complex computer role-playing games. These games are known for intricate stories, player agency, and deep class systems—traits that recently found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its world is classic fantasy, what truly sets Divinity apart is the immense freedom granted to the player.
While numerous modern RPGs have pared back options, Divinity is full of niche playthroughs that are viable with a particular class or origin with a unique decision path.
The series is also famously open-ended, allowing players to experiment both in story and combat. Nearly every quest can be solved in diverse methods, often in unexpected fashion.
- You might solve a puzzle because you remembered something an animal companion shared.
- Or, you could overcome an obstacle by moving environmental hazards in a clever way.
The Journey Continues
It is these creative systems that have cemented the series to declare games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as a top-tier role-playing games ever made. Now, the RPG community can get ready for another adventure in this legendary franchise.
