The buzz about the recent awards show was significant, notably after host Geoff Keighley shared a puzzling photo of a strange statue. The mystery has been revealed. The acclaimed developer is developing a completely new Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was debuted with a daring trailer packed with intense imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the very descent into chaos.
A Different Direction
Anyone expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio warned that a third Original Sin game to its beloved RPGs is not on the cards right now.
That said, the developer described this new Divinity as a continuation of the core franchise. This phrasing implies that the team might be building a more action-oriented experience instead of another tactical title. At this moment, we can only guess, as only a announcement clip is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is universally respected and arguably it pioneered the recent resurgence of deep computer role-playing games. These games are known for rich lore, branching plots, and flexible progression—elements that recently reached new heights in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its setting is familiar fare, what makes Divinity apart is the immense freedom granted to 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 specific history of choices.
The series is also notoriously open-ended, allowing players to find creative solutions in narrative and gameplay. Virtually all objectives can be solved in diverse methods, sometimes in surprising fashion.

More to Come
It is these creative systems that allow people to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as a top-tier role-playing games ever made. Now, the RPG community can look forward to another adventure in this esteemed franchise.
