The speculation around the recent awards show reached a fever pitch, particularly after host Geoff Keighley posted an enigmatic image of a desert monolith. The question has been revealed. The acclaimed developer is developing a brand-new Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was presented with a daring trailer packed with memorable imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the literal unleashing of hell.
Not the Expected Sequel
Anyone hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio clarified that a direct sequel to its venerated RPGs is not on the cards right now.
That said, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a next chapter of the core franchise. This choice of words suggests that the team is likely crafting a more action-oriented experience as opposed to another turn-based title. At this moment, it remains theory, as only a announcement clip is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is highly rated and many say it kicked off the modern wave of deep computer role-playing games. These games are celebrated for detailed worlds, branching plots, and deep class systems—qualities that later reached new heights in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its universe is familiar fare, what truly sets Divinity apart is the remarkable agency given to the player.
While numerous modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is brimming with unique possibilities you can achieve if you're playing as a distinct build with a personal story.
The series is also famously flexible, allowing players to find creative solutions throughout the entire experience. Most missions can be solved in a variety of manners, often in lateral fashion.
- You might progress the story because you recalled something a non-human character said.
- Or, you could defeat a foe by teleporting a glob of lava in a inventive way.
More to Come
It is precisely these elements that have cemented the series to declare games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as among the greatest role-playing games of all time. Now, fans can get ready for more where that came from in this esteemed franchise.
