The speculation surrounding the recent awards show reached a fever pitch, notably after presenter Geoff Keighley posted a puzzling image of a desert monolith. The mystery is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is developing a brand-new Divinity game.

Announced as Divinity, the game was showcased with a bold trailer featuring memorable imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the literal unleashing of hell.

Moving Beyond Original Sin

For those anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. The studio warned that a follow-up to its beloved RPGs is not currently in development.

A Pillar of Modern RPGs

The Divinity series is highly rated and arguably it sparked the contemporary revival of complex computer role-playing games. These games are known for rich lore, player agency, and complex character building—traits that recently found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

While its universe is classic fantasy, what really distinguishes Divinity apart is the immense freedom bestowed upon the player.

In contrast to modern RPGs have pared back options, Divinity is packed with niche playthroughs that are viable with a particular class or origin with a unique decision path.

The series is also notoriously permissive, enabling players to improvise in narrative and gameplay. Nearly every quest can be solved in diverse methods, often in lateral fashion.

A New Chapter Begins

It is precisely these elements that lead fans and critics to hail games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as one of the best role-playing games ever made. Now, players can get ready for more where that came from in this groundbreaking franchise.
