The speculation surrounding this year's gaming ceremony was significant, particularly after host Geoff Keighley shared a puzzling image of a desert monolith. The secret has now been solved. The acclaimed developer is working on a completely new Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was showcased with a audacious trailer packed with intense imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the literal unleashing of hell.
Moving Beyond Original Sin
Anyone expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. The studio warned that a follow-up to its beloved RPGs is not being worked on now.
That said, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a evolution of the main series. This phrasing suggests that the team might be designing a more action-oriented experience instead of another tactical title. At this moment, it remains theory, as only a teaser video is available.
A Pillar of Modern RPGs
The Divinity series is widely praised and many say it pioneered the recent resurgence of complex computer role-playing games. These games are defined by intricate stories, choice-driven narratives, and deep class systems—traits that subsequently were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its universe is familiar fare, what makes Divinity apart is the remarkable agency granted to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is brimming with unique possibilities you can achieve with a particular class or origin with a unique decision path.
The series is also notoriously open-ended, allowing players to improvise both in story and combat. Nearly every quest can be completed in multiple ways, often in surprising fashion.
- You might progress the story because you recalled something a dog told you.
- Or, you could defeat a foe by using the world itself in a unorthodox way.
More to Come
It is precisely these elements that lead fans and critics to declare games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as among the greatest role-playing games of all time. Now, players can get ready for another adventure in this legendary franchise.
