The speculation surrounding the recent awards show has been intense, notably after host Geoff Keighley shared a puzzling photo of a desert monolith. The secret has now been solved. The acclaimed developer is creating a brand-new Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was showcased with a daring trailer packed with striking imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the literal unleashing of hell.
Not the Expected Sequel
For those anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. The studio clarified that a follow-up to its beloved RPGs is not being worked on now.
Nevertheless, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a continuation of the main series. This phrasing suggests that the team could be building a faster-paced experience as opposed to another turn-based title. Currently, we can only guess, as only a cinematic trailer is available.
A Pillar of Modern RPGs
The Divinity series is widely praised and arguably it pioneered the contemporary revival of crunchy computer role-playing games. These games are celebrated for detailed worlds, branching plots, and complex character building—qualities 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 bestowed upon the player.
While numerous modern RPGs have pared back options, Divinity is brimming with niche playthroughs you can achieve by choosing a distinct build with a specific history of choices.
The series is also notoriously flexible, allowing players to improvise in narrative and gameplay. Nearly every quest can be approached in diverse methods, often in lateral fashion.

A New Chapter Begins
It is precisely these elements that allow people to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as among the greatest role-playing games of all time. Now, fans can get ready for more where that came from in this esteemed franchise.
