The buzz around the recent awards show was significant, especially after presenter Geoff Keighley shared a mysterious image of a desert monolith. The question has now been solved. The acclaimed developer is creating a completely new Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was debuted with a audacious trailer featuring intense imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the very descent into chaos.
Not the Expected Sequel
For those expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. Larian stated ahead of time that a direct sequel to its beloved RPGs is not being worked on now.
That said, the developer described this new Divinity as a next chapter of the main series. This choice of words suggests that the team might be designing a more action-oriented experience instead of another turn-based title. Currently, we can only guess, as only a teaser video is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is highly rated and arguably it kicked off the modern wave of complex computer role-playing games. These games are defined by detailed worlds, branching plots, and deep class systems—qualities that recently reached new heights 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 simplified options, Divinity is full of unique possibilities only possible with a distinct build with a personal story.
The series is also notoriously open-ended, allowing players to find creative solutions in narrative and gameplay. Virtually all objectives can be solved in a variety of manners, frequently in surprising fashion.
- You might progress the story because you recalled something a non-human character said.
- Or, you could defeat a foe by teleporting a glob of lava in a unorthodox way.
The Journey Continues
It is these creative systems that have cemented the series to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as a top-tier role-playing games of all time. Now, fans can look forward to a new entry in this groundbreaking franchise.
