The speculation surrounding the recent awards show was significant, notably after host Geoff Keighley shared a puzzling photo of a strange statue. The secret is finally answered. Larian Studios is working on a brand-new Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was presented with a audacious trailer packed with memorable imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the literal descent into chaos.
Not the Expected Sequel
Anyone anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. Larian warned that a direct sequel to its beloved RPGs is not on the cards right now.
That said, the developer described this new Divinity as a next chapter of the core franchise. This phrasing suggests that the team might be crafting a more action-oriented experience instead of another turn-based title. Currently, it remains theory, as only a teaser video is available.
A Pillar of Modern RPGs
The Divinity series is highly rated and arguably it pioneered the modern wave of complex computer role-playing games. These games are known for intricate stories, player agency, and complex character building—qualities that later 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 bestowed upon the player.
While numerous modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is packed with specialized paths that are viable by choosing a distinct build with a unique decision path.
The series is also famously open-ended, letting players to experiment throughout the entire experience. Virtually all objectives can be solved in a variety of manners, frequently in unexpected fashion.

The Journey Continues
It is these creative systems that allow people to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as one of the best role-playing games in history. Now, fans can anticipate a new entry in this groundbreaking franchise.
