The speculation around the recent awards show has been intense, notably after presenter Geoff Keighley posted a puzzling image of a strange statue. The secret has now been solved. The acclaimed developer is developing a completely new Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was showcased with a audacious trailer featuring striking imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the very descent into chaos.
Not the Expected Sequel
Anyone hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. The studio clarified that a third Original Sin game to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not being worked on now.
However, the developer described this new Divinity as a next chapter of the main series. This distinction suggests that the team might be designing a more action-oriented experience instead of another tactical title. For now, we can only guess, as only a teaser video is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is universally respected and arguably it sparked the contemporary revival of crunchy computer role-playing games. These games are defined by detailed worlds, player agency, and complex character building—traits 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 granted to the player.
While numerous modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is brimming with specialized paths you can achieve by choosing a specific type of character with a specific history of choices.
The series is also notoriously flexible, letting players to experiment throughout the entire experience. Nearly every quest can be completed in a variety of manners, sometimes in unexpected fashion.
- You might solve a puzzle because you remembered something a dog told you.

A New Chapter Begins
It is this design philosophy that lead fans and critics to hail games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as one of the best role-playing games ever made. Now, fans can anticipate a new entry in this groundbreaking franchise.
