The buzz about the recent awards show was significant, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley shared a puzzling photo of a strange statue. The question is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is working on a brand-new Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was debuted with a bold trailer that included striking imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to scenes of revelry and the literal opening of infernal gates.
A Different Direction
Anyone expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio warned that a direct sequel to its beloved RPGs is not currently in development.
That said, the developer described this new Divinity as a next chapter of the main series. This phrasing suggests that the team could be designing a real-time experience rather than another turn-based title. Currently, this is speculation, as only a announcement clip is available.
A Pillar of Modern RPGs
The Divinity series is universally respected and arguably it kicked off the modern wave of crunchy computer role-playing games. These games are defined by rich lore, branching plots, and flexible progression—traits that later reached new heights in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its setting is classic fantasy, what truly sets Divinity apart is the immense freedom granted to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is packed with niche playthroughs you can achieve by choosing a specific type of character with a unique decision path.
The series is also famously flexible, allowing players to improvise in narrative and gameplay. Nearly every quest can be completed in multiple ways, frequently in unexpected fashion.
- You might solve a puzzle because you recalled something a non-human character said.
- Or, you could defeat a foe by using the world itself in a unorthodox way.
A New Chapter Begins
It is precisely these elements that allow people to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as among the greatest role-playing games in history. Now, players can anticipate more where that came from in this esteemed franchise.
