The anticipation about The Game Awards reached a fever pitch, notably after presenter Geoff Keighley posted a puzzling photo of a desert monolith. The mystery is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is working on a fresh Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was debuted with a bold trailer that included memorable imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the literal unleashing of hell.
Not the Expected Sequel
Anyone expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. The studio stated ahead of time that a follow-up to its beloved RPGs is not currently in development.
That said, the developer described this new Divinity as a continuation of the core franchise. This phrasing hints that the team might be crafting a real-time experience as opposed to another tactical title. At this moment, we can only guess, as only a cinematic trailer is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is highly rated and many say it pioneered the recent resurgence of complex computer role-playing games. These games are known for rich lore, branching plots, and complex character building—qualities that recently found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its world is traditional swords and sorcery, what makes Divinity apart is the unprecedented level of trust bestowed upon the player.
In contrast to modern RPGs have pared back options, Divinity is brimming with unique possibilities that are viable by choosing a particular class or origin with a personal story.
The series is also famously open-ended, allowing players to find creative solutions in narrative and gameplay. Most missions can be completed in multiple ways, sometimes in unexpected fashion.
- You might find an answer because you recalled something an animal companion shared.

The Journey Continues
It is precisely these elements that allow people to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as among the greatest role-playing games in history. Now, players can get ready for a new entry in this legendary franchise.
