The speculation surrounding this year's gaming ceremony reached a fever pitch, notably after host Geoff Keighley shared a puzzling image of a desert monolith. The question is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is working on a brand-new Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was debuted with a daring trailer that included striking imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the literal unleashing of hell.
Not the Expected Sequel
For those expecting 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 implies that the team might be designing a faster-paced experience instead of another turn-based title. For now, we can only guess, as only a announcement clip is available.
A Pillar of Modern RPGs
The Divinity series is highly rated and many say it pioneered the modern wave of complex computer role-playing games. These games are celebrated for detailed worlds, choice-driven narratives, and flexible progression—elements that subsequently reached new heights in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its universe is traditional swords and sorcery, what makes Divinity apart is the immense freedom bestowed upon the player.
While numerous modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is packed with specialized paths you can achieve with a particular class or origin with a personal story.
The series is also famously flexible, allowing players to experiment in narrative and gameplay. Most missions can be approached in multiple ways, often in surprising fashion.
- You might find an answer because you recalled something a dog told you.
- Or, you could bypass a challenge by using the world itself in a unorthodox way.
A New Chapter Begins
It is this design philosophy that lead fans and critics to hail games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as a top-tier role-playing games in history. Now, players can look forward to another adventure in this legendary franchise.
