Larian Studios Announce a Latest Divinity, Calling it Their Largest RPG to Date

The anticipation about The Game Awards reached a fever pitch, especially after host Geoff Keighley posted an enigmatic photo of a desert monolith. The secret is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is developing a brand-new Divinity game.

Announced as Divinity, the game was presented with a audacious trailer packed with memorable imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the literal unleashing of hell.

Not the Expected Sequel

Anyone anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. The studio warned that a direct sequel to its venerated RPGs is not currently in development.

However, the developer described this new Divinity as a evolution of the core franchise. This choice of words suggests that the team might be designing a real-time experience instead of another tactical title. For now, we can only guess, as only a cinematic trailer is available.

A Pillar of Modern RPGs

The Divinity series is highly rated and arguably it pioneered the contemporary revival of deep computer role-playing games. These games are celebrated for rich lore, player agency, and complex character building—traits that later found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

While its setting is classic fantasy, what really distinguishes Divinity apart is the unprecedented level of trust bestowed upon the player.

Where many modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is packed with unique possibilities that are viable by choosing a distinct build with a specific history of choices.

The series is also famously flexible, letting players to experiment throughout the entire experience. Virtually all objectives can be solved in multiple ways, frequently in lateral fashion.

  • You might progress the story because you recalled something a non-human character said.
  • Or, you could defeat a foe by using the world itself in a unorthodox way.

A New Chapter Begins

It is precisely these elements that lead fans and critics to declare games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as among the greatest role-playing games in history. Now, players can get ready for a new entry in this legendary franchise.
