The anticipation about the recent awards show was significant, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley shared a mysterious image of a desert monolith. The mystery is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is working on a completely new Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was presented with a audacious trailer packed with intense imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the literal unleashing of hell.
A Different Direction
Anyone hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. The studio stated ahead of time that a direct sequel to its beloved RPGs is not being worked on now.
However, the developer described this new Divinity as a next chapter of the main series. This phrasing implies that the team might be building a real-time experience as opposed to another tactical title. For now, this is speculation, as only a announcement clip is available.
A Pillar of Modern RPGs
The Divinity series is highly rated and arguably it kicked off the modern wave of complex computer role-playing games. These games are defined by detailed worlds, branching plots, and deep class systems—traits that recently found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its setting is traditional swords and sorcery, what really distinguishes Divinity apart is the remarkable agency granted to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is full of specialized paths you can achieve with a distinct build with a personal story.
The series is also famously flexible, enabling players to find creative solutions throughout the entire experience. Virtually all objectives can be solved in a variety of manners, often in lateral fashion.
- You might solve a puzzle because you heeded something a dog told you.
- Or, you could bypass a challenge by using the world itself in a clever way.
More to Come
It is these creative systems that lead fans and critics to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as a top-tier role-playing games in history. Now, fans can anticipate a new entry in this groundbreaking franchise.
