The buzz around The Game Awards was significant, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley shared a mysterious photo of a strange statue. The question is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is developing a brand-new Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was debuted with a audacious trailer that included memorable imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the very unleashing of hell.
Not the Expected Sequel
For those hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. Larian clarified that a follow-up to its beloved RPGs is not currently in development.
Nevertheless, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a next chapter of the main series. This phrasing suggests that the team might be building a more action-oriented experience as opposed to another turn-based title. At this moment, this is speculation, as only a announcement clip is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is universally respected and arguably it sparked the modern wave of complex computer role-playing games. These games are celebrated for intricate stories, branching plots, and complex character building—qualities that subsequently were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its setting is classic fantasy, what really distinguishes Divinity apart is the immense freedom given to the player.
In contrast to modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is full of niche playthroughs only possible with a distinct build with a specific history of choices.
The series is also famously permissive, enabling players to improvise in narrative and gameplay. Virtually all objectives can be completed in multiple ways, frequently in lateral fashion.
- You might solve a puzzle because you heeded something an animal companion shared.
- Or, you could defeat a foe by using the world itself in a clever way.
More to Come
It is precisely these elements that allow people to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as one of the best role-playing games ever made. Now, fans can anticipate another adventure in this groundbreaking franchise.
