The buzz about the recent awards show reached a fever pitch, notably after host Geoff Keighley posted a puzzling photo of a strange statue. The secret is finally answered. Larian Studios is creating a brand-new Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was presented with a audacious trailer featuring striking imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the very descent into chaos.
A Different Direction
For those anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. The studio warned that a third Original Sin game to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not currently in development.
Nevertheless, the developer described this new Divinity as a evolution of the main series. This phrasing implies that the team could be building a real-time experience instead of another turn-based title. At this moment, this is speculation, as only a announcement clip is available.

The Divinity series is highly rated and many say it pioneered the contemporary revival of deep computer role-playing games. These games are celebrated for intricate stories, branching plots, and complex character building—traits that later were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its world is classic fantasy, what really distinguishes Divinity apart is the immense freedom given to the player.
In contrast to modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is brimming with unique possibilities only possible by choosing a particular class or origin with a specific history of choices.
The series is also famously flexible, enabling players to experiment in narrative and gameplay. Virtually all objectives can be completed in multiple ways, sometimes in unexpected fashion.

More to Come
It is these creative systems that allow people to declare games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as a top-tier role-playing games ever made. Now, the RPG community can anticipate more where that came from in this legendary franchise.
