The speculation surrounding the recent awards show reached a fever pitch, notably after host Geoff Keighley shared an enigmatic photo of a strange statue. The question has been revealed. The acclaimed developer is developing a completely new Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was showcased with a bold trailer that included striking imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the very unleashing of hell.
Not the Expected Sequel
For those expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio clarified that a follow-up to its beloved RPGs is not being worked on now.
That said, the developer described this new Divinity as a next chapter of the main series. This phrasing implies that the team is likely building a more action-oriented experience as opposed to another tactical title. At this moment, it remains theory, as only a announcement clip is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is highly rated and it's fair to claim it kicked off the recent resurgence of deep computer role-playing games. These games are defined by intricate stories, choice-driven narratives, and complex character building—elements that later were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its universe is traditional swords and sorcery, what really distinguishes Divinity apart is the immense freedom granted to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is full of specialized paths that are viable if you're playing as a particular class or origin with a personal story.
The series is also notoriously open-ended, allowing players to experiment in narrative and gameplay. Nearly every quest can be completed in multiple ways, frequently in lateral fashion.
- You might solve a puzzle because you recalled something a dog told you.
- Or, you could defeat a foe by using the world itself in a clever way.
More to Come
It is these creative systems that lead fans and critics to hail games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as a top-tier role-playing games of all time. Now, players can get ready for a new entry in this esteemed franchise.
