The buzz around The Game Awards has been intense, especially after presenter Geoff Keighley posted a puzzling photo of a desert monolith. The question has been revealed. The acclaimed developer is creating a fresh Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was showcased with a bold trailer featuring memorable imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the literal descent into chaos.
Not the Expected Sequel
Anyone anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. Larian stated ahead of time that a follow-up to its venerated RPGs is not being worked on now.

The Legacy of Divinity
The Divinity series is universally respected and arguably it pioneered the contemporary revival of complex computer role-playing games. These games are known for rich lore, choice-driven narratives, and deep class systems—traits that later found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its world is traditional swords and sorcery, what makes Divinity apart is the immense freedom bestowed upon the player.
While numerous modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is full of niche playthroughs that are viable if you're playing as a distinct build with a personal story.
The series is also wonderfully flexible, letting players to improvise in narrative and gameplay. Virtually all objectives can be approached in multiple ways, frequently in unexpected fashion.

- Or, you could overcome an obstacle by using the world itself in a unorthodox way.
More to Come
