The anticipation about the recent awards show has been intense, especially after host Geoff Keighley posted a mysterious photo of a desert monolith. The question has now been solved. The acclaimed developer is developing a completely new Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was showcased with a bold trailer packed with memorable imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the very opening of infernal gates.
Not the Expected Sequel
Anyone hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. The studio stated ahead of time that a third Original Sin game to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not on the cards right now.
Nevertheless, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a continuation of the main series. This choice of words hints that the team might be building a faster-paced experience instead of another tactical title. At this moment, this is speculation, as only a teaser video is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is widely praised and arguably it pioneered the recent resurgence of complex computer role-playing games. These games are defined by rich lore, choice-driven narratives, and complex character building—elements that later found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its world is classic fantasy, what truly sets Divinity apart is the remarkable agency bestowed upon the player.
While numerous modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is full of unique possibilities you can achieve if you're playing as a specific type of character with a unique decision path.
The series is also famously flexible, enabling players to experiment both in story and combat. Nearly every quest can be solved in a variety of manners, frequently in surprising fashion.
- You might progress the story because you remembered 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 one of the best role-playing games ever made. Now, players can look forward to more where that came from in this legendary franchise.
