The speculation about the recent awards show reached a fever pitch, notably after presenter Geoff Keighley shared a mysterious photo of a strange statue. The secret has been revealed. The acclaimed developer is creating a brand-new Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was debuted with a daring trailer packed with intense imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the very opening of infernal gates.
A Different Direction
Anyone anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. Larian warned that a third Original Sin game to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not currently in development.
That said, the developer described this new Divinity as a continuation of the main series. This choice of words hints that the team could be crafting a faster-paced experience instead of another tactical title. Currently, we can only guess, as only a announcement clip is available.
A Pillar of Modern RPGs
The Divinity series is widely praised and many say it sparked the contemporary revival of complex computer role-playing games. These games are defined by intricate stories, choice-driven narratives, and flexible progression—qualities that subsequently reached new heights in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its setting is classic fantasy, what truly sets Divinity apart is the remarkable agency granted to the player.
While numerous modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is brimming with unique possibilities you can achieve with a particular class or origin with a personal story.
The series is also notoriously permissive, enabling players to find creative solutions throughout the entire experience. Most missions can be solved in multiple ways, sometimes in surprising fashion.
- You might find an answer because you recalled something a non-human character said.
- Or, you could overcome an obstacle by using the world itself in a clever way.
A New Chapter Begins
It is this design philosophy that have cemented the series to declare games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as one of the best role-playing games in history. Now, fans can look forward to another adventure in this esteemed franchise.
