The speculation about the recent awards show was significant, especially after presenter Geoff Keighley posted a puzzling photo of a strange statue. The secret has now been solved. Larian Studios is developing a brand-new Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was debuted with a daring trailer packed with intense imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to scenes of revelry and the very opening of infernal gates.
Not the Expected Sequel
For those hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. Larian warned that a follow-up to its venerated 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 might be designing a faster-paced experience rather than another tactical title. At this moment, it remains theory, as only a teaser video is available.
A Pillar of Modern RPGs
The Divinity series is universally respected and many say it pioneered the contemporary revival of deep computer role-playing games. These games are defined by intricate stories, player agency, and complex character building—traits that later found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its universe is familiar fare, what makes Divinity apart is the immense freedom bestowed upon the player.
While numerous modern RPGs have pared back options, Divinity is packed with unique possibilities only possible by choosing a specific type of character with a personal story.
The series is also notoriously flexible, enabling players to improvise throughout the entire experience. Most missions can be solved in a variety of manners, sometimes in unexpected fashion.

The Journey Continues
It is this design philosophy that allow people to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as one of the best role-playing games in history. Now, fans can anticipate more where that came from in this esteemed franchise.
