The buzz surrounding the recent awards show has been intense, especially after host Geoff Keighley posted a puzzling image of a strange statue. The secret is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is developing a fresh Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was showcased with a daring trailer packed with intense imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to scenes of revelry and the literal descent into chaos.
Not the Expected Sequel
Anyone expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio warned that a third Original Sin game to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not currently in development.
However, the developer described this new Divinity as a evolution of the main series. This distinction hints that the team is likely building a real-time experience rather than another turn-based title. For now, it remains theory, as only a announcement clip is available.
The Legacy of Divinity
The Divinity series is widely praised and arguably it kicked off the contemporary revival of deep computer role-playing games. These games are defined by rich lore, branching plots, and flexible progression—qualities that subsequently were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its setting is traditional swords and sorcery, what truly sets Divinity apart is the unprecedented level of trust granted to the player.
While numerous modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is full of specialized paths you can achieve if you're playing as a particular class or origin with a personal story.
The series is also wonderfully permissive, allowing players to experiment both in story and combat. Nearly every quest can be completed in a variety of manners, sometimes in surprising fashion.
- You might solve a puzzle because you remembered something an animal companion shared.
- Or, you could overcome an obstacle by moving environmental hazards in a clever way.
More to Come
It is these creative systems that have cemented the series to declare games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as among the greatest role-playing games ever made. Now, fans can get ready for more where that came from in this legendary franchise.
