The buzz around the recent awards show has been intense, particularly after host Geoff Keighley posted an enigmatic image of a strange statue. The question has now been solved. Larian Studios is working on a brand-new Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was showcased with a daring trailer packed with intense imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the literal opening of infernal gates.
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 critically acclaimed RPGs is not being worked on now.
Nevertheless, the developer described this new Divinity as a evolution of the main series. This choice of words suggests that the team might be designing a faster-paced experience instead of another tactical title. Currently, it remains theory, as only a teaser video is available.
A Pillar of Modern RPGs
The Divinity series is widely praised and it's fair to claim it kicked off the contemporary revival of complex computer role-playing games. These games are celebrated for detailed worlds, player agency, and deep class systems—elements that recently were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its world is classic fantasy, what truly sets Divinity apart is the remarkable agency granted to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is brimming with unique possibilities you can achieve by choosing a particular class or origin with a unique decision path.
The series is also famously permissive, letting players to find creative solutions in narrative and gameplay. Nearly every quest can be approached in a variety of manners, frequently in lateral fashion.
- You might progress the story because you recalled something a non-human character said.
- Or, you could overcome an obstacle by moving environmental hazards in a unorthodox way.
A New Chapter Begins
It is precisely these elements that have cemented the series to declare 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 esteemed franchise.
