The speculation surrounding The Game Awards has been intense, especially after host Geoff Keighley shared a puzzling photo of a desert monolith. The mystery is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is developing a fresh Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was showcased with a audacious trailer packed with striking imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the very descent into chaos.
Moving Beyond Original Sin
Anyone anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. Larian warned that a follow-up to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not on the cards right now.
That said, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a continuation of the main series. This distinction suggests that the team is likely designing a more action-oriented experience instead of another tactical title. Currently, it remains theory, as only a teaser video is available.
The Legacy of Divinity
The Divinity series is universally respected and many say it pioneered the modern wave of crunchy computer role-playing games. These games are known for detailed worlds, player agency, and flexible progression—elements that later found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its universe is familiar fare, what makes Divinity apart is the immense freedom given to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have pared back options, Divinity is brimming with niche playthroughs you can achieve with a distinct build with a personal story.
The series is also wonderfully permissive, enabling players to find creative solutions throughout the entire experience. Virtually all objectives can be solved in multiple ways, sometimes in surprising fashion.
- You might find an answer because you remembered something a non-human character said.
- Or, you could bypass a challenge by teleporting a glob of lava in a inventive way.
The Journey Continues
It is precisely these elements that have cemented the series to hail games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as a top-tier role-playing games in history. Now, the RPG community can get ready for another adventure in this groundbreaking franchise.
