The speculation about the recent awards show reached a fever pitch, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley shared a puzzling image of a strange statue. The secret has been revealed. The acclaimed developer is working on a completely new Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was debuted with a audacious trailer that included memorable imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the very unleashing of hell.
Moving Beyond Original Sin
For those anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio warned that a third Original Sin game to its beloved RPGs is not on the cards right now.
That said, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a next chapter of the main series. This phrasing suggests that the team might be building a faster-paced experience rather than another tactical title. For now, this is speculation, as only a teaser video is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is highly rated and arguably it kicked off the recent resurgence of deep computer role-playing games. These games are known for rich lore, choice-driven narratives, and complex character building—traits that recently were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its setting is classic fantasy, what really distinguishes Divinity apart is the immense freedom given to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have pared back options, Divinity is brimming with unique possibilities that are viable with a distinct build with a specific history of choices.
The series is also notoriously permissive, enabling players to find creative solutions throughout the entire experience. Nearly every quest can be approached in multiple ways, often in surprising fashion.
- You might progress the story because you recalled something a non-human character said.
- Or, you could overcome an obstacle by using the world itself in a unorthodox way.
More to Come
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 get ready for a new entry in this legendary franchise.
