The buzz surrounding the recent awards show has been intense, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley shared a mysterious photo of a strange statue. The question has been revealed. Larian Studios is developing a fresh Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was presented with a audacious trailer featuring memorable imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the very opening of infernal gates.
Not the Expected Sequel
For those hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio warned 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 evolution of the main series. This phrasing implies that the team could be building a real-time experience as opposed to another tactical title. At this moment, we can only guess, as only a teaser video is available.
A Pillar of Modern RPGs
The Divinity series is highly rated and many say it sparked the recent resurgence of deep computer role-playing games. These games are celebrated for intricate stories, player agency, and flexible progression—qualities that recently found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its world is classic fantasy, what truly sets Divinity apart is the immense freedom bestowed upon the player.
While numerous modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is brimming with unique possibilities you can achieve by choosing a particular class or origin with a personal story.
The series is also famously open-ended, allowing players to experiment both in story and combat. Virtually all objectives can be solved in a variety of manners, often in surprising fashion.
- You might solve a puzzle because you recalled something a dog told you.
- Or, you could defeat a foe by teleporting a glob of lava in a clever way.
More to Come
It is this design philosophy that allow people to hail games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as one of the best role-playing games in history. Now, players can get ready for a new entry in this groundbreaking franchise.
