The speculation surrounding this year's gaming ceremony was significant, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley shared an enigmatic photo of a strange statue. The mystery has been revealed. Larian Studios is creating a brand-new Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was presented with a bold trailer that included striking imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the very descent into chaos.
A Different Direction
For those hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. The studio warned that a follow-up to its venerated RPGs is not currently in development.
However, the developer described this new Divinity as a continuation of the core franchise. This choice of words hints that the team might be building a more action-oriented experience rather than another tactical title. At this moment, this is speculation, as only a teaser video is available.
A Pillar of Modern RPGs
The Divinity series is universally respected and many say it sparked the contemporary revival of deep computer role-playing games. These games are celebrated for rich lore, player agency, and flexible progression—qualities that recently were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its setting is traditional swords and sorcery, what makes Divinity apart is the unprecedented level of trust given to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is brimming with specialized paths that are viable with a specific type of character with a personal story.
The series is also famously flexible, enabling players to experiment throughout the entire experience. Virtually all objectives can be completed in diverse methods, often in lateral fashion.
- You might progress the story because you remembered something an animal companion shared.
- Or, you could bypass a challenge by moving environmental hazards in a unorthodox way.
More to Come
It is precisely these elements that allow people to hail 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 esteemed franchise.
