The buzz about The Game Awards was significant, especially after presenter Geoff Keighley shared a puzzling image of a strange statue. The secret has been revealed. Larian Studios is creating a fresh Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was presented with a daring trailer that included striking imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to scenes of revelry and the literal unleashing of hell.
Not the Expected Sequel
For those anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. Larian warned that a third Original Sin game to its beloved RPGs is not on the cards right now.
However, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a evolution of the core franchise. This phrasing hints that the team is likely building a more action-oriented experience as opposed to another turn-based title. At this moment, this is speculation, as only a cinematic trailer is available.
A Pillar of Modern RPGs
The Divinity series is universally respected and many say it kicked off the modern wave of crunchy computer role-playing games. These games are defined by intricate stories, choice-driven narratives, and deep class systems—elements that recently reached new heights in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its setting is classic fantasy, what really distinguishes Divinity apart is the immense freedom given to the player.
While numerous modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is packed with unique possibilities you can achieve if you're playing as a distinct build with a specific history of choices.
The series is also notoriously flexible, enabling players to find creative solutions in narrative and gameplay. Most missions can be approached in a variety of manners, sometimes in surprising fashion.

A New Chapter Begins
It is this design philosophy that allow people to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as a top-tier role-playing games ever made. Now, fans can get ready for another adventure in this esteemed franchise.
