The speculation surrounding The Game Awards reached a fever pitch, particularly after host Geoff Keighley shared an enigmatic photo of a strange statue. The mystery is finally answered. Larian Studios is creating a brand-new Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was presented with a audacious trailer featuring striking imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the very descent into chaos.
Moving Beyond Original Sin
Anyone expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio warned that a third Original Sin game to its beloved RPGs is not being worked on now.
However, the developer described this new Divinity as a next chapter of the main series. This distinction implies that the team is likely designing a faster-paced experience as opposed to another turn-based title. At this moment, this is speculation, as only a cinematic trailer is available.

The Divinity series is universally respected and arguably it pioneered the modern wave of crunchy computer role-playing games. These games are known for rich lore, player agency, and flexible progression—elements that later were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its universe is familiar fare, what makes Divinity apart is the remarkable agency given to the player.
While numerous modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is full of unique possibilities that are viable with a distinct build with a personal story.
The series is also famously permissive, allowing players to experiment throughout the entire experience. Most missions can be solved in diverse methods, frequently in lateral fashion.
