The anticipation around The Game Awards reached a fever pitch, notably after presenter Geoff Keighley shared an enigmatic photo of a strange statue. The secret has now been solved. The acclaimed developer is developing a brand-new Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was debuted with a daring trailer packed with memorable imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the very descent into chaos.
Not the Expected Sequel
For those expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio clarified that a third Original Sin game to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not being worked on now.
Nevertheless, the developer described this new Divinity as a continuation of the main series. This phrasing hints that the team is likely building a faster-paced experience rather than another turn-based title. For now, this is speculation, 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 deep computer role-playing games. These games are known for rich lore, choice-driven narratives, and deep class systems—qualities that recently found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its setting is classic fantasy, what makes Divinity apart is the remarkable agency bestowed upon the player.
Where many modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is packed with unique possibilities only possible if you're playing as a particular class or origin with a personal story.
The series is also notoriously permissive, letting players to experiment both in story and combat. Most missions can be completed in multiple ways, frequently in lateral fashion.
- You might solve a puzzle because you heeded something an animal companion shared.
- Or, you could bypass a challenge by moving environmental hazards in a inventive way.
More to Come
It is this design philosophy that allow people to declare games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as among the greatest role-playing games in history. Now, players can get ready for more where that came from in this groundbreaking franchise.
