The Baldur's Gate 3 Creators Announce a Latest Divinity, Calling it Their Biggest RPG Yet

The buzz surrounding the recent awards show was significant, notably after host Geoff Keighley shared a puzzling photo of a desert monolith. The secret is finally answered. Larian Studios is working on a completely new Divinity game.

Titled simply Divinity, the game was debuted with a daring trailer packed with striking imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the very unleashing of hell.

Not the Expected Sequel

For those hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. Larian clarified that a direct sequel to its beloved RPGs is not being worked on now.

However, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a continuation of the main series. This choice of words hints that the team might be crafting a more action-oriented experience instead of another tactical title. Currently, this is speculation, as only a cinematic trailer is available.

The Legacy of Divinity

The Divinity series is universally respected and arguably it pioneered the modern wave of complex computer role-playing games. These games are defined by detailed worlds, branching plots, and flexible progression—traits that recently reached new heights in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

While its world is traditional swords and sorcery, what truly sets Divinity apart is the remarkable agency given to the player.

While numerous modern RPGs have pared back options, Divinity is full of unique possibilities only possible by choosing a distinct build with a personal story.

The series is also notoriously flexible, enabling players to improvise throughout the entire experience. Nearly every quest can be completed in diverse methods, sometimes in unexpected fashion.

  • You might find an answer because you remembered something a dog told you.
  • Or, you could overcome an obstacle by moving environmental hazards in a unorthodox way.

A New Chapter Begins

It is precisely these elements that have cemented the series to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as a top-tier role-playing games in history. Now, fans can anticipate another adventure in this legendary franchise.
