The speculation about the recent awards show has been intense, especially after host Geoff Keighley shared a puzzling image of a desert monolith. The mystery is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is working on a completely new Divinity game.

Revealed to be Divinity, the game was showcased with a audacious trailer packed with intense imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to scenes of revelry and the very descent into chaos.

Not the Expected Sequel

Anyone anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. The studio clarified that a direct sequel to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not on the cards right now.

That said, the developer described this new Divinity as a evolution of the main series. This phrasing implies that the team might be building a more action-oriented experience as opposed to another tactical title. Currently, it remains theory, as only a teaser video is available.

A Pillar of Modern RPGs

The Divinity series is widely praised and many say it sparked the recent resurgence of deep computer role-playing games. These games are celebrated for detailed worlds, branching plots, and complex character building—elements that subsequently reached new heights in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

While its universe is familiar fare, what makes Divinity apart is the immense freedom granted to the player.

While numerous modern RPGs have pared back options, Divinity is brimming with niche playthroughs only possible with a particular class or origin with a specific history of choices.

The series is also notoriously flexible, allowing players to improvise throughout the entire experience. Virtually all objectives can be completed in multiple ways, sometimes in surprising fashion.

• You might solve a puzzle because you heeded something a non-human character said.
• Or, you could overcome an obstacle by teleporting a glob of lava in a clever way.

The Journey Continues

It is these creative systems that lead fans and critics to hail games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as among the greatest role-playing games ever made. Now, players can get ready for a new entry in this legendary franchise.
