The speculation about the recent awards show reached a fever pitch, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley posted a mysterious image of a strange statue. The question has been revealed. The acclaimed developer is working on a completely new Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was debuted with a audacious trailer packed with striking imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to scenes of revelry and the literal opening of infernal gates.
Not the Expected Sequel
Anyone anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. The studio stated ahead of time that a follow-up to its beloved RPGs is not currently in development.
Nevertheless, the developer described this new Divinity as a continuation of the main series. This phrasing hints that the team might be crafting a faster-paced experience as opposed to another turn-based title. For now, this is speculation, as only a cinematic trailer is available.
A Pillar of Modern RPGs
The Divinity series is highly rated and arguably it sparked the contemporary revival of crunchy computer role-playing games. These games are defined by rich lore, choice-driven narratives, and complex character building—traits that later were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

In contrast to modern RPGs have pared back options, Divinity is packed with specialized paths that are viable if you're playing as a distinct build with a personal story.
The series is also notoriously open-ended, allowing players to improvise throughout the entire experience. Most missions can be completed in multiple ways, often in unexpected fashion.
- You might progress the story because you remembered something a non-human character said.
- Or, you could overcome an obstacle by using the world itself in a inventive way.
More to Come
It is these creative systems that lead fans and critics to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as among the greatest role-playing games in history. Now, the RPG community can get ready for more where that came from in this esteemed franchise.
