The buzz surrounding the recent awards show has been intense, especially after host Geoff Keighley posted a puzzling image of a desert monolith. The question is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is working on a brand-new Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was presented with a daring trailer that included intense imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the very descent into chaos.
Not the Expected Sequel
Anyone hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. Larian warned that a follow-up to its beloved RPGs is not being worked on now.
That said, the developer described this new Divinity as a continuation of the main series. This choice of words hints that the team is likely building a faster-paced experience as opposed to another turn-based title. At this moment, we can only guess, as only a teaser video is available.
A Pillar of Modern RPGs
The Divinity series is widely praised and many say it kicked off the contemporary revival of complex computer role-playing games. These games are celebrated for detailed worlds, choice-driven narratives, and flexible progression—traits that subsequently found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its universe is traditional swords and sorcery, what truly sets Divinity apart is the remarkable agency given to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have pared back options, Divinity is packed with niche playthroughs only possible by choosing a specific type of character with a unique decision path.
The series is also wonderfully permissive, allowing players to improvise in narrative and gameplay. Virtually all objectives can be solved in diverse methods, frequently in lateral fashion.
- You might progress the story because you heeded something a non-human character said.
- Or, you could overcome an obstacle by using the world itself in a clever way.
More to Come
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, players can anticipate more where that came from in this esteemed franchise.
