The buzz about the recent awards show was significant, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley posted a puzzling photo of a desert monolith. The mystery has now been solved. Larian Studios is working on a fresh Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was showcased with a daring trailer featuring memorable imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the literal unleashing of hell.
Not the Expected Sequel
Anyone expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. Larian warned that a direct sequel to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not on the cards right now.
Nevertheless, the developer described this new Divinity as a evolution of the core franchise. This distinction implies that the team is likely building a real-time experience instead of another tactical title. At this moment, it remains theory, as only a teaser video is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is widely praised and arguably it sparked the contemporary revival of crunchy computer role-playing games. These games are celebrated for rich lore, choice-driven narratives, and flexible progression—traits that later found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its universe is traditional swords and sorcery, what makes Divinity apart is the immense freedom bestowed upon the player.
While numerous modern RPGs have pared back options, Divinity is full of specialized paths that are viable by choosing a distinct build with a personal story.
The series is also notoriously flexible, allowing players to experiment throughout the entire experience. Most missions can be solved in a variety of manners, often in unexpected fashion.
- You might solve a puzzle because you recalled something a dog told you.
- Or, you could defeat a foe by moving environmental hazards in a clever way.
More to Come
It is precisely these elements that have cemented the series to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as a top-tier role-playing games in history. Now, players can get ready for a new entry in this legendary franchise.
