The buzz about the recent awards show was significant, especially after host Geoff Keighley posted a mysterious photo of a strange statue. The question has been revealed. The acclaimed developer is developing a completely new Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was presented with a audacious trailer featuring intense imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to scenes of revelry and the very unleashing of hell.
Not the Expected Sequel
For those hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio warned that a third Original Sin game 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 main series. This distinction hints that the team could be building a real-time experience instead of another tactical title. At this moment, this is speculation, as only a announcement clip is available.
A Pillar of Modern RPGs
The Divinity series is widely praised and arguably it pioneered the contemporary revival of complex computer role-playing games. These games are celebrated for intricate stories, choice-driven narratives, and complex character building—traits that subsequently reached new heights in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its universe is classic fantasy, what truly sets Divinity apart is the immense freedom bestowed upon the player.
While numerous modern RPGs have pared back options, Divinity is full of niche playthroughs only possible with a distinct build with a specific history of choices.
The series is also famously open-ended, enabling players to find creative solutions throughout the entire experience. Nearly every quest can be approached in multiple ways, often in surprising fashion.
- You might progress the story because you recalled something a dog told you.
- Or, you could defeat a foe by using the world itself in a unorthodox way.
More to Come
It is precisely these elements that lead fans and critics to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as one of the best role-playing games ever made. Now, the RPG community can anticipate more where that came from in this legendary franchise.
