The buzz about the recent awards show reached a fever pitch, especially after host Geoff Keighley posted a puzzling photo of a desert monolith. The question has been revealed. Larian Studios is creating a completely new Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was debuted with a daring trailer packed with intense imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the literal unleashing of hell.
A Different Direction
For those anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. Larian clarified that a third Original Sin game to its beloved RPGs is not being worked on now.
That said, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a continuation of the main series. This distinction implies that the team could be designing a real-time experience instead of another tactical title. For now, we can only guess, as only a cinematic trailer is available.

The Divinity series is highly rated and arguably it sparked the modern wave of deep computer role-playing games. These games are celebrated for intricate stories, choice-driven narratives, and flexible progression—traits that subsequently found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its universe is classic fantasy, what makes Divinity apart is the remarkable agency bestowed upon the player.
While numerous modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is full of specialized paths that are viable by choosing a specific type of character with a unique decision path.
The series is also famously flexible, enabling players to experiment in narrative and gameplay. Most missions can be solved in a variety of manners, often in unexpected fashion.
