The anticipation about the recent awards show was significant, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley shared a puzzling image of a strange statue. The secret has been revealed. The acclaimed developer is working on a completely new Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was presented with a bold trailer that included intense imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to scenes of revelry and the very descent into chaos.
Not the Expected Sequel
For those hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. Larian warned that a third Original Sin game to its beloved RPGs is not on the cards right now.
Nevertheless, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a evolution of the main series. This choice of words hints that the team is likely designing a more action-oriented experience rather than another turn-based title. Currently, this is speculation, as only a announcement clip is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is highly rated and arguably it sparked the recent resurgence of deep computer role-playing games. These games are known for intricate stories, player agency, and flexible progression—traits that later found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its world is classic fantasy, what really distinguishes Divinity apart is the unprecedented level of trust bestowed upon the player.
Where many modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is packed with unique possibilities you can achieve by choosing a particular class or origin with a personal story.
The series is also wonderfully flexible, enabling players to improvise throughout the entire experience. Most missions can be solved in multiple ways, often in unexpected fashion.
- You might find an answer because you recalled something an animal companion shared.
- Or, you could defeat a foe by moving environmental hazards in a clever way.
The Journey Continues
It is these creative systems that have cemented the series to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as one of the best role-playing games of all time. Now, the RPG community can get ready for more where that came from in this legendary franchise.
