The buzz surrounding the recent awards show has been intense, especially after presenter Geoff Keighley shared a puzzling photo of a desert monolith. The mystery has now been solved. Larian Studios is working on a completely new Divinity game.

Titled simply Divinity, the game was presented with a audacious trailer that included memorable imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the literal opening of infernal gates.

A Different Direction

For those hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. Larian stated ahead of time that a direct sequel to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not on the cards right now.

However, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a next chapter of the core franchise. This choice of words implies that the team is likely crafting a more action-oriented experience as opposed to another tactical title. At this moment, we can only guess, as only a teaser video is available.

The Legacy of Divinity

The Divinity series is highly rated and arguably it kicked off the contemporary revival of complex computer role-playing games. These games are known for detailed worlds, player agency, and complex character building—traits that later were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

While its setting is familiar fare, what really distinguishes Divinity apart is the unprecedented level of trust bestowed upon the player.

In contrast to modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is packed with niche playthroughs you can achieve with a specific type of character with a personal story.

The series is also famously permissive, enabling players to experiment in narrative and gameplay. Most missions can be approached in diverse methods, often in lateral fashion.

• You might solve a puzzle because you recalled something a dog told you.
• Or, you could bypass a challenge by using the world itself in a unorthodox way.

A New Chapter Begins

It is these creative systems that lead fans and critics to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as one of the best role-playing games in history. Now, the RPG community can anticipate a new entry in this esteemed franchise.
