The speculation about The Game Awards has been intense, especially after host Geoff Keighley posted a mysterious image of a strange statue. The secret is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is creating a brand-new Divinity game.

Announced as Divinity, the game was debuted with a audacious trailer packed with striking imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the very unleashing of hell.

Not the Expected Sequel

For those expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. Larian clarified that a direct sequel to its beloved RPGs is not currently in development.

That said, the developer referred to 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 instead of another tactical title. At this moment, it remains theory, as only a cinematic trailer is available.

What Makes Divinity Special

The Divinity series is highly rated and many say it pioneered the modern wave of crunchy computer role-playing games. These games are celebrated for detailed worlds, choice-driven narratives, and complex character building—qualities that later found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

While its setting is traditional swords and sorcery, what truly sets Divinity apart is the remarkable agency given to the player.

While numerous modern RPGs have pared back options, Divinity is packed with specialized paths that are viable if you're playing as a particular class or origin with a unique decision path.

The series is also famously open-ended, enabling players to experiment in narrative and gameplay. Most missions can be solved in multiple ways, often in unexpected fashion.

• You might find an answer because you heeded something an animal companion shared.
• Or, you could overcome an obstacle by moving environmental hazards in a unorthodox way.

More to Come

It is these creative systems that have cemented the series to hail games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as among the greatest role-playing games in history. Now, players can look forward to another adventure in this legendary franchise.
