The buzz surrounding the recent awards show has been intense, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley shared a puzzling photo of a desert monolith. The question is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is developing a completely new Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was showcased with a bold trailer featuring striking imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the literal unleashing of hell.
Not the Expected Sequel
Anyone expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. The studio stated ahead of time that a third Original Sin game to its beloved RPGs is not currently in development.
Nevertheless, the developer described this new Divinity as a next chapter of the core franchise. This phrasing hints that the team might be crafting a faster-paced experience rather than another tactical title. At this moment, we can only guess, as only a cinematic trailer is available.
The Legacy of Divinity
The Divinity series is widely praised and arguably it sparked the contemporary revival of deep computer role-playing games. These games are celebrated for detailed worlds, choice-driven narratives, and flexible progression—traits that subsequently found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its world is classic fantasy, what makes Divinity apart is the unprecedented level of trust granted to the player.
While numerous modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is full of unique possibilities only possible if you're playing as a particular class or origin with a specific history of choices.
The series is also notoriously open-ended, allowing players to find creative solutions in narrative and gameplay. Nearly every quest can be completed in diverse methods, frequently in lateral fashion.

- Or, you could defeat a foe by moving environmental hazards in a clever way.
More to Come
It is this design philosophy that lead fans and critics to hail games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as among the greatest role-playing games ever made. Now, players can get ready for another adventure in this legendary franchise.
