The anticipation around the recent awards show has been intense, especially after host Geoff Keighley shared an enigmatic photo of a desert monolith. The secret has now been solved. The acclaimed developer is working on a brand-new Divinity game.

Revealed to be Divinity, the game was debuted with a audacious trailer featuring memorable imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the literal descent into chaos.

Moving Beyond Original Sin

For those expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio warned that a follow-up to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not on the cards right now.

However, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a next chapter of the core franchise. This distinction suggests that the team might be building a more action-oriented experience rather than another turn-based title. Currently, we can only guess, as only a announcement clip is available.

What Makes Divinity Special

The Divinity series is widely praised and many say it pioneered the contemporary revival of deep computer role-playing games. These games are known for intricate stories, player agency, and flexible progression—traits that subsequently found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

While its universe is familiar fare, what truly sets Divinity apart is the immense freedom given to the player.

Where many modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is full of unique possibilities that are viable if you're playing as a specific type of character with a specific history of choices.

The series is also notoriously permissive, allowing players to find creative solutions in narrative and gameplay. Nearly every quest can be solved in diverse methods, often in unexpected fashion.

• You might progress the story because you heeded something an animal companion shared.
• Or, you could defeat a foe by moving environmental hazards in a unorthodox way.

A New Chapter Begins

It is these creative systems that have cemented the series to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as among the greatest role-playing games in history. Now, fans can get ready for more where that came from in this legendary franchise.
