The buzz around The Game Awards has been intense, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley shared an enigmatic image of a strange statue. The secret has now been solved. The acclaimed developer is developing a fresh Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was debuted with a audacious trailer featuring striking imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to scenes of revelry and the very unleashing of hell.
Not the Expected Sequel
For those anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio stated ahead of time that a third Original Sin game to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not on the cards right now.
That said, the developer described this new Divinity as a next chapter of the core franchise. This phrasing implies that the team could be designing a more action-oriented experience rather than another tactical title. Currently, this is speculation, as only a teaser video is available.
What Makes Divinity Special

While numerous modern RPGs have pared back options, Divinity is brimming with specialized paths you can achieve with a distinct build with a unique decision path.
The series is also famously flexible, letting players to improvise both in story and combat. Nearly every quest can be solved in diverse methods, sometimes in lateral fashion.

- Or, you could overcome an obstacle by using the world itself in a unorthodox way.
The Journey Continues
It is precisely these elements that lead fans and critics to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as one of the best role-playing games of all time. Now, the RPG community can anticipate a new entry in this groundbreaking franchise.
