The speculation about this year's gaming ceremony was significant, especially after presenter Geoff Keighley posted a mysterious image of a strange statue. The question has been revealed. The acclaimed developer is developing a completely new Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was presented with a bold trailer featuring striking imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the very unleashing of hell.
A Different Direction
For those hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. The studio warned that a follow-up to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not on the cards right now.
That said, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a continuation of the main series. This distinction suggests that the team might be designing a faster-paced experience rather than another tactical title. For now, this is speculation, as only a cinematic trailer is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is highly rated and it's fair to claim it sparked the contemporary revival of complex computer role-playing games. These games are known for rich lore, branching plots, and flexible progression—elements that recently were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its universe is classic fantasy, what truly sets Divinity apart is the immense freedom granted to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have pared back options, Divinity is full of unique possibilities that are viable by choosing a specific type of character with a personal story.
The series is also notoriously flexible, enabling players to experiment throughout the entire experience. Most missions can be solved in diverse methods, frequently in surprising fashion.
- You might progress the story because you remembered something an animal companion shared.
- Or, you could bypass a challenge by using the world itself in a clever way.
The Journey Continues
It is this design philosophy that allow people to declare games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as one of the best role-playing games of all time. Now, players can anticipate a new entry in this esteemed franchise.
