The Baldur's Gate 3 Creators Reveal a Latest Divinity, Declaring it Their Biggest RPG Yet
The speculation about The Game Awards reached a fever pitch, notably after presenter Geoff Keighley shared a mysterious image of a desert monolith. The question has been revealed. Larian Studios is creating a completely new Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was showcased with a daring trailer that included striking imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the very opening of infernal gates.
Not the Expected Sequel
For those anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. Larian warned that a third Original Sin game to its beloved RPGs is not being worked on now.
Nevertheless, the developer described this new Divinity as a continuation of the main series. This phrasing suggests that the team is likely building a real-time experience instead of another turn-based title. For now, this is speculation, as only a cinematic trailer is available.
The Legacy of Divinity
The Divinity series is universally respected and many say it sparked the modern wave of crunchy computer role-playing games. These games are defined by rich lore, player agency, and flexible progression—traits that later reached new heights in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its world is traditional swords and sorcery, what really distinguishes Divinity apart is the unprecedented level of trust granted to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is brimming with niche playthroughs only possible by choosing a distinct build with a unique decision path.
The series is also famously flexible, enabling players to improvise both in story and combat. Nearly every quest can be approached in diverse methods, sometimes in unexpected fashion.
- You might solve a puzzle because you heeded something a dog told you.
- Or, you could defeat a foe by teleporting a glob of lava in a clever way.
A New Chapter Begins
It is this design philosophy that have cemented the series to declare games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as one of the best role-playing games ever made. Now, players can look forward to another adventure in this esteemed franchise.
