The buzz about The Game Awards has been intense, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley shared a mysterious photo of a strange statue. The question has now been solved. The acclaimed developer is developing a fresh Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was presented with a daring trailer that included memorable imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to scenes of revelry and the very descent into chaos.
A Different Direction
For those anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. Larian warned that a direct sequel to its beloved RPGs is not currently in development.
However, the developer described this new Divinity as a next chapter of the main series. This phrasing implies that the team is likely designing a real-time experience rather than another turn-based title. For now, it remains theory, as only a cinematic trailer is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is universally respected and arguably it kicked off the modern wave of crunchy computer role-playing games. These games are known for intricate stories, player agency, and deep class systems—traits that later were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its world is classic fantasy, what makes Divinity apart is the remarkable agency bestowed upon the player.
Where many modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is packed with unique possibilities you can achieve with a specific type of character with a specific history of choices.
The series is also famously permissive, allowing players to find creative solutions in narrative and gameplay. Nearly every quest can be approached in diverse methods, sometimes in lateral fashion.
- You might find an answer because you recalled something a dog told you.
- Or, you could bypass a challenge by teleporting a glob of lava in a inventive way.
More to Come
It is these creative systems that lead fans and critics to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as a top-tier role-playing games in history. Now, the RPG community can get ready for another adventure in this legendary franchise.
