The buzz surrounding the recent awards show reached a fever pitch, especially after presenter Geoff Keighley shared an enigmatic photo of a strange statue. The mystery is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is working on a brand-new Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was showcased with a daring trailer featuring memorable imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the literal descent into chaos.
Not the Expected Sequel
For those anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. Larian warned that a third Original Sin game to its venerated RPGs is not currently in development.
That said, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a evolution of the main series. This choice of words implies that the team could be building a real-time experience rather than another turn-based title. Currently, we can only guess, as only a cinematic trailer is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is widely praised and many say it kicked off the recent resurgence of crunchy computer role-playing games. These games are defined by intricate stories, branching plots, and flexible progression—elements that later were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its universe is classic fantasy, what truly sets Divinity apart is the immense freedom given to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is full of unique possibilities that are viable by choosing a distinct build with a personal story.
The series is also notoriously flexible, allowing players to find creative solutions in narrative and gameplay. Virtually all objectives can be completed in diverse methods, frequently in unexpected fashion.

- Or, you could defeat a foe by using the world itself in a unorthodox way.
More to Come
It is these creative systems that lead fans and critics to hail games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as among the greatest role-playing games of all time. Now, fans can anticipate a new entry in this legendary franchise.
