The anticipation about The Game Awards reached a fever pitch, especially after host Geoff Keighley shared a puzzling photo of a strange statue. The question has now been solved. Larian Studios is developing a fresh Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was debuted with a audacious trailer featuring memorable imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the literal descent into chaos.
A Different Direction
Anyone hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. Larian stated ahead of time that a follow-up to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not being worked on now.
However, the developer described this new Divinity as a next chapter of the core franchise. This choice of words hints that the team is likely designing a faster-paced experience as opposed to another tactical title. For now, this is speculation, as only a announcement clip is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is highly rated and arguably it pioneered the modern wave of crunchy computer role-playing games. These games are celebrated for detailed worlds, player agency, and complex character building—traits that later found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

In contrast to modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is packed with specialized paths you can achieve with a particular class or origin with a personal story.
The series is also wonderfully permissive, allowing players to find creative solutions both in story and combat. Virtually all objectives can be completed in a variety of manners, sometimes in lateral fashion.

More to Come
