The anticipation around The Game Awards reached a fever pitch, notably after presenter Geoff Keighley posted a mysterious photo of a desert monolith. The question has been revealed. The acclaimed developer is creating a fresh Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was debuted with a daring trailer packed with memorable imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the literal unleashing of hell.
A Different Direction
Anyone anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. The studio stated ahead of time that a follow-up to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not currently in development.
Nevertheless, the developer described this new Divinity as a next chapter of the core franchise. This phrasing implies that the team is likely building a faster-paced experience as opposed to another turn-based title. Currently, we can only guess, as only a teaser video is available.
A Pillar of Modern RPGs
The Divinity series is widely praised and many say it sparked the recent resurgence of complex computer role-playing games. These games are known for intricate stories, choice-driven narratives, and flexible progression—traits that subsequently found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its world is classic fantasy, what really distinguishes Divinity apart is the remarkable agency bestowed upon the player.
Where many modern RPGs have pared back options, Divinity is full of specialized paths you can achieve with a distinct build with a personal story.
The series is also famously open-ended, enabling players to experiment both in story and combat. Virtually all objectives can be solved in multiple ways, sometimes in lateral fashion.
- You might progress the story because you remembered something a dog told you.
- Or, you could overcome an obstacle by teleporting a glob of lava in a inventive way.
A New Chapter Begins
It is this design philosophy that have cemented the series to declare games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as a top-tier role-playing games ever made. Now, players can anticipate a new entry in this groundbreaking franchise.
