The buzz about The Game Awards reached a fever pitch, especially after host Geoff Keighley posted a puzzling image of a strange statue. The mystery has now been solved. The acclaimed developer is working on a completely new Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was presented with a bold trailer that included memorable imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to scenes of revelry and the literal opening of infernal gates.
A Different Direction
Anyone hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. The studio warned that a follow-up to its venerated RPGs is not being worked on now.
Nevertheless, the developer described this new Divinity as a evolution of the core franchise. This phrasing suggests that the team might be crafting a more action-oriented experience rather than another turn-based title. At this moment, we can only guess, as only a teaser video is available.
A Pillar of Modern RPGs
The Divinity series is widely praised and many say it pioneered the contemporary revival of complex computer role-playing games. These games are celebrated for detailed worlds, choice-driven narratives, and flexible progression—elements that recently reached new heights in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its world is familiar fare, what really distinguishes Divinity apart is the immense freedom given to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is brimming with niche playthroughs you can achieve if you're playing as a particular class or origin with a specific history of choices.
The series is also famously permissive, letting players to experiment throughout the entire experience. Virtually all objectives can be solved in multiple ways, often in unexpected fashion.
- You might progress the story because you remembered something an animal companion shared.
- Or, you could bypass a challenge by using the world itself in a clever way.
A New Chapter Begins
It is precisely these elements that have cemented the series to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as a top-tier role-playing games ever made. Now, fans can anticipate more where that came from in this groundbreaking franchise.
