The speculation around The Game Awards was significant, notably after host Geoff Keighley shared a mysterious image of a strange statue. The mystery is finally answered. Larian Studios is working on a brand-new Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was presented with a daring trailer that included memorable imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the very unleashing of hell.
A Different Direction
For those hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. The studio clarified that a follow-up to its venerated RPGs is not being worked on now.
That said, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a continuation of the core franchise. This distinction implies that the team is likely crafting a real-time experience instead of another turn-based title. For now, this is speculation, as only a announcement clip is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is widely praised and many say it kicked off the modern wave of deep computer role-playing games. These games are defined by intricate stories, player agency, and complex character building—qualities that later found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its world is classic fantasy, what really distinguishes Divinity apart is the remarkable agency given to the player.
While numerous modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is brimming with unique possibilities only possible if you're playing as a distinct build with a specific history of choices.
The series is also famously permissive, allowing players to experiment in narrative and gameplay. Virtually all objectives can be solved in a variety of manners, often in lateral fashion.
- You might find an answer because you remembered something a dog told you.
- Or, you could defeat a foe by using the world itself in a inventive way.
More to Come
It is precisely these elements that have cemented the series to hail games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as among the greatest role-playing games ever made. Now, fans can get ready for a new entry in this esteemed franchise.
