The buzz about The Game Awards was significant, especially after presenter Geoff Keighley shared a puzzling photo of a strange statue. The question has now been solved. Larian Studios is working on a brand-new Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was debuted with a daring trailer featuring intense imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the very unleashing of hell.
Not the Expected Sequel
Anyone anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. The studio stated ahead of time that a follow-up to its venerated RPGs is not being worked on now.
That said, the developer described this new Divinity as a continuation of the core franchise. This distinction hints that the team is likely designing a real-time experience rather than another tactical title. For now, we can only guess, as only a announcement clip is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is highly rated and arguably it kicked off the recent resurgence of complex computer role-playing games. These games are celebrated for detailed worlds, branching plots, and flexible progression—elements that later were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its world is classic fantasy, what makes Divinity apart is the immense freedom granted to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is packed with specialized paths you can achieve by choosing a distinct build with a unique decision path.
The series is also famously open-ended, enabling players to experiment throughout the entire experience. Virtually all objectives can be completed in a variety of manners, often in lateral fashion.
- You might solve a puzzle because you remembered something a non-human character said.
- Or, you could defeat a foe by teleporting a glob of lava in a unorthodox way.
More to Come
It is these creative systems that have cemented the series to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as among the greatest role-playing games of all time. Now, players can anticipate a new entry in this esteemed franchise.
