The speculation surrounding this year's gaming ceremony was significant, notably after host Geoff Keighley shared a mysterious photo of a desert monolith. The secret has now been solved. The acclaimed developer is creating a brand-new Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was debuted with a bold trailer that included intense imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the very descent into chaos.
A Different Direction
Anyone hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. Larian clarified that a third Original Sin game to its venerated RPGs is not on the cards right now.
Nevertheless, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a next chapter of the core franchise. This distinction hints that the team is likely designing a more action-oriented experience instead of another tactical title. For now, it remains theory, as only a announcement clip is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is widely praised and arguably it sparked the modern wave of complex computer role-playing games. These games are defined by rich lore, choice-driven narratives, and complex character building—qualities that later were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its world 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 specialized paths you can achieve by choosing a specific type of character with a specific history of choices.
The series is also famously permissive, allowing players to experiment in narrative and gameplay. Most missions can be solved in a variety of manners, sometimes in surprising fashion.
- You might progress the story because you remembered something a dog told you.
- Or, you could defeat a foe by moving environmental hazards in a unorthodox way.
More to Come
It is precisely these elements that lead fans and critics to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as among the greatest role-playing games of all time. Now, fans can look forward to a new entry in this groundbreaking franchise.
