The speculation about the recent awards show has been intense, especially after presenter Geoff Keighley posted an enigmatic image of a strange statue. The question has now been solved. Larian Studios is developing a brand-new Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was presented with a daring trailer featuring memorable imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to scenes of revelry and the very descent into chaos.
A Different Direction
For those expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio clarified that a direct sequel to its beloved RPGs is not being worked on now.
That said, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a continuation of the core franchise. This distinction implies that the team might be building a more action-oriented experience instead of another turn-based title. At this moment, we can only guess, as only a cinematic trailer is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is universally respected and it's fair to claim it pioneered the contemporary revival of complex computer role-playing games. These games are defined by intricate stories, choice-driven narratives, and flexible progression—traits that later reached new heights in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its world is classic fantasy, what makes Divinity apart is the unprecedented level of trust granted to the player.
In contrast to modern RPGs have pared back options, Divinity is packed with unique possibilities that are viable by choosing a particular class or origin with a personal story.
The series is also famously permissive, letting players to experiment throughout the entire experience. Most missions can be approached in a variety of manners, sometimes in unexpected fashion.
