The anticipation about the recent awards show reached a fever pitch, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley shared a puzzling photo of a strange statue. The mystery is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is developing a brand-new Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was showcased with a bold trailer packed with intense imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the very opening of infernal gates.
Not the Expected Sequel
Anyone hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. The studio stated ahead of time that a third Original Sin game to its venerated RPGs is not on the cards right now.
Nevertheless, the developer described this new Divinity as a evolution of the main series. This distinction hints that the team could be designing a more action-oriented experience instead of another turn-based title. For now, we can only guess, as only a cinematic trailer is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is highly rated and many say it pioneered the recent resurgence of crunchy computer role-playing games. These games are celebrated for detailed worlds, choice-driven narratives, and deep class systems—elements that recently were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its setting is traditional swords and sorcery, what truly sets Divinity apart is the remarkable agency granted to the player.
While numerous modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is brimming with specialized paths that are viable with a specific type of character with a unique decision path.
The series is also wonderfully open-ended, enabling players to improvise in narrative and gameplay. Most missions can be completed in diverse methods, frequently in unexpected fashion.
- You might progress the story because you heeded something a non-human character said.

More to Come
