The anticipation around this year's gaming ceremony has been intense, especially after presenter Geoff Keighley posted an enigmatic photo of a desert monolith. The question is finally answered. Larian Studios is developing a brand-new Divinity game.

Revealed to be Divinity, the game was showcased with a daring trailer packed with striking imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the very opening of infernal gates.

A Different Direction

For those expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. Larian stated ahead of time that a follow-up to its beloved RPGs is not being worked on now.

However, the developer described this new Divinity as a continuation of the main series. This distinction suggests that the team could be crafting a real-time experience instead of another turn-based title. For now, this is speculation, as only a cinematic trailer is available.

What Makes Divinity Special

The Divinity series is widely praised and many say it pioneered the contemporary revival of deep computer role-playing games. These games are known for rich lore, choice-driven narratives, and flexible progression—traits that recently were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

While its world is classic fantasy, what makes Divinity apart is the unprecedented level of trust given to the player.

While numerous modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is full of niche playthroughs you can achieve by choosing a particular class or origin with a personal story.

The series is also famously open-ended, letting players to experiment throughout the entire experience. Most missions can be completed in multiple ways, often in lateral fashion.

• You might find an answer because you recalled something a non-human character said.
• Or, you could overcome an obstacle by moving environmental hazards in a unorthodox way.

The Journey Continues

It is precisely these elements that lead fans and critics to hail games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as among the greatest role-playing games of all time. Now, players can look forward to another adventure in this legendary franchise.
