The buzz about the recent awards show has been intense, notably after presenter Geoff Keighley shared an enigmatic photo of a strange statue. The secret has now been solved. The acclaimed developer is creating a brand-new Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was presented with a daring trailer that included striking imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the literal descent into chaos.
A Different Direction
For those anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio warned that a direct sequel to its beloved RPGs is not being worked on now.
However, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a continuation of the main series. This choice of words suggests that the team might be designing a faster-paced experience instead of another tactical title. Currently, this is speculation, as only a cinematic trailer is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is highly rated and many say it pioneered the modern wave of deep computer role-playing games. These games are defined by rich lore, player agency, and flexible progression—traits that later were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its setting is traditional swords and sorcery, what really distinguishes Divinity apart is the unprecedented level of trust given to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is brimming with unique possibilities that are viable with a distinct build with a specific history of choices.
The series is also notoriously permissive, enabling players to experiment in narrative and gameplay. Most missions can be approached in a variety of manners, often in unexpected fashion.
- You might progress the story because you recalled something a dog told you.
- Or, you could defeat a foe by moving environmental hazards in a clever way.
More to Come
It is these creative systems that lead fans and critics to hail games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as a top-tier role-playing games of all time. Now, the RPG community can get ready for a new entry in this groundbreaking franchise.
