The anticipation about The Game Awards has been intense, especially after presenter Geoff Keighley shared a mysterious photo of a desert monolith. The question has now been solved. The acclaimed developer is creating a brand-new Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was debuted with a daring trailer packed with striking imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to scenes of revelry and the very descent into chaos.
Not the Expected Sequel
For those hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. The studio clarified that a direct sequel to its venerated RPGs is not being worked on now.
That said, the developer described this new Divinity as a continuation of the main series. This distinction implies that the team could be crafting a more action-oriented experience as opposed to another turn-based title. For now, this is speculation, as only a teaser video is available.
A Pillar of Modern RPGs
The Divinity series is universally respected and arguably it pioneered the contemporary revival of crunchy computer role-playing games. These games are known for intricate stories, choice-driven narratives, and deep class systems—elements that recently reached new heights in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its setting is classic fantasy, what truly sets Divinity apart is the unprecedented level of trust granted to the player.
While numerous modern RPGs have pared back options, Divinity is brimming with unique possibilities you can achieve if you're playing as a distinct build with a unique decision path.
The series is also notoriously flexible, enabling players to experiment both in story and combat. Virtually all objectives can be completed in multiple ways, often in lateral fashion.
- You might find an answer because you remembered something an animal companion shared.
- Or, you could defeat a foe by using the world itself in a clever way.
More to Come
It is precisely these elements that lead fans and critics to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as a top-tier role-playing games ever made. Now, players can anticipate another adventure in this esteemed franchise.
