The buzz about The Game Awards reached a fever pitch, notably after presenter Geoff Keighley shared a mysterious photo of a strange statue. The mystery has now been solved. The acclaimed developer is creating a completely new Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was presented with a bold trailer packed with memorable imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the very unleashing of hell.
A Different Direction
For those expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. Larian clarified that a third Original Sin game to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not currently in development.
However, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a continuation of the core franchise. This phrasing hints that the team could be crafting a real-time experience instead of another tactical title. Currently, we can only guess, as only a announcement clip is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is highly rated and many say it pioneered the contemporary revival of deep computer role-playing games. These games are defined by rich lore, player agency, and flexible progression—traits that later reached new heights in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its setting is traditional swords and sorcery, what really distinguishes Divinity apart is the remarkable agency given to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is packed with unique possibilities you can achieve if you're playing as a particular class or origin with a specific history of choices.
The series is also famously open-ended, allowing players to improvise both in story and combat. Virtually all objectives can be completed in a variety of manners, frequently in surprising fashion.
- You might find an answer because you remembered something an animal companion shared.
- Or, you could bypass a challenge by moving environmental hazards in a inventive way.
A New Chapter Begins
It is precisely these elements that have cemented the series to declare games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as among the greatest role-playing games of all time. Now, players can look forward to more where that came from in this legendary franchise.
