The anticipation about this year's gaming ceremony has been intense, especially after host Geoff Keighley posted a mysterious photo of a strange statue. The question has been revealed. Larian Studios is creating a completely new Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was presented with a audacious trailer that included striking imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the very descent into chaos.
Moving Beyond Original Sin
Anyone hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. Larian clarified that a third Original Sin game to its beloved RPGs is not currently in development.
Nevertheless, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a continuation of the main series. This distinction hints that the team is likely designing a more action-oriented experience rather than another tactical title. Currently, we can only guess, as only a teaser video is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is universally respected and many say it sparked the modern wave of crunchy computer role-playing games. These games are celebrated for intricate stories, player agency, and complex character building—elements that recently were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its universe is classic fantasy, what makes Divinity apart is the immense freedom granted to the player.
While numerous modern RPGs have pared back options, Divinity is packed with unique possibilities only possible by choosing a particular class or origin with a personal story.
The series is also notoriously permissive, allowing players to experiment in narrative and gameplay. Most missions can be completed in diverse methods, often in lateral fashion.

A New Chapter Begins
It is this design philosophy that allow people to hail games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as one of the best role-playing games in history. Now, players can look forward to more where that came from in this groundbreaking franchise.
