The Baldur's Gate 3 Creators Announce a New Divinity, Labeling it Their Most Ambitious RPG Ever

The buzz around the recent awards show reached a fever pitch, notably after host Geoff Keighley shared a mysterious image of a strange statue. The secret is finally answered. Larian Studios is developing a completely new Divinity game.

Revealed to be Divinity, the game was debuted with a bold trailer packed with intense imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the very unleashing of hell.

Not the Expected Sequel

Anyone hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. Larian stated ahead of time that a direct sequel to its beloved RPGs is not currently in development.

However, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a continuation of the main series. This distinction hints that the team is likely crafting a faster-paced experience instead of another turn-based title. For now, it remains theory, as only a cinematic trailer is available.

What Makes Divinity Special

The Divinity series is highly rated and it's fair to claim it sparked the contemporary revival of deep computer role-playing games. These games are celebrated for rich lore, player agency, and flexible progression—traits that later found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

While its universe is classic fantasy, what makes Divinity apart is the immense freedom granted to the player.

In contrast to modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is brimming with niche playthroughs only possible by choosing a specific type of character with a unique decision path.

The series is also famously flexible, enabling players to improvise both in story and combat. Virtually all objectives can be solved in diverse methods, often in lateral fashion.

  • You might solve a puzzle because you remembered something a dog told you.
  • Or, you could overcome an obstacle by teleporting a glob of lava in a clever way.

The Journey Continues

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 ever made. Now, fans can anticipate another adventure in this legendary franchise.
