The anticipation surrounding the recent awards show reached a fever pitch, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley shared a puzzling image of a desert monolith. The mystery has been revealed. The acclaimed developer is developing a completely new Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was presented with a audacious trailer featuring intense imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to scenes of revelry and the very opening of infernal gates.
Not the Expected Sequel
For those expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. Larian clarified that a follow-up to its venerated RPGs is not currently in development.
That said, the developer described this new Divinity as a continuation of the core franchise. This choice of words hints that the team is likely designing a faster-paced experience instead of another tactical title. At this moment, this is speculation, as only a teaser video is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is widely praised and arguably it pioneered the contemporary revival of complex computer role-playing games. These games are defined by intricate stories, choice-driven narratives, and flexible progression—elements that recently were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

A New Chapter Begins
It is precisely these elements that have cemented the series to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as a top-tier role-playing games of all time. Now, players can get ready for a new entry in this esteemed franchise.
