The buzz surrounding The Game Awards was significant, especially after presenter Geoff Keighley shared a puzzling photo of a strange statue. The mystery has now been solved. The acclaimed developer is creating a completely new Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was debuted with a bold trailer that included striking imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to scenes of revelry and the literal descent into chaos.
Moving Beyond Original Sin
Anyone expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. The studio stated ahead of time that a follow-up to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not being worked on now.
That said, the developer described this new Divinity as a evolution of the main series. This choice of words hints that the team could be crafting a real-time experience as opposed to another turn-based title. At this moment, we can only guess, as only a teaser video is available.
A Pillar of Modern RPGs
The Divinity series is highly rated and arguably it kicked off the contemporary revival of deep computer role-playing games. These games are defined by detailed worlds, choice-driven narratives, and deep class systems—traits that recently were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its setting is classic fantasy, what really distinguishes Divinity apart is the immense freedom bestowed upon the player.
Where many modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is full of unique possibilities that are viable if you're playing as a distinct build with a unique decision path.
The series is also wonderfully permissive, allowing players to find creative solutions in narrative and gameplay. Most missions can be completed in a variety of manners, sometimes in lateral fashion.
- You might progress the story because you heeded something a non-human character said.
- Or, you could defeat a foe by teleporting a glob of lava in a inventive way.
A New Chapter Begins
It is precisely these elements that have cemented the series to hail games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as among the greatest role-playing games of all time. Now, players can get ready for more where that came from in this esteemed franchise.
