The buzz about The Game Awards has been intense, particularly after host Geoff Keighley shared a mysterious image of a desert monolith. The secret has been revealed. The acclaimed developer is working on a brand-new Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was showcased with a audacious trailer featuring intense imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the very unleashing of hell.
A Different Direction
For those expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio stated ahead of time that a third Original Sin game to its venerated RPGs is not currently in development.
That said, the developer described this new Divinity as a continuation of the core franchise. This phrasing implies that the team might be building a faster-paced experience as opposed to another turn-based title. At this moment, this is speculation, as only a teaser video is available.

The Divinity series is widely praised and many say it sparked the modern wave of complex computer role-playing games. These games are celebrated for intricate stories, choice-driven narratives, and deep class systems—qualities that recently found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its setting is classic fantasy, what really distinguishes Divinity apart is the unprecedented level of trust given to the player.
While numerous modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is brimming with niche playthroughs only possible if you're playing as a distinct build with a unique decision path.
The series is also famously permissive, enabling players to improvise both in story and combat. Virtually all objectives can be completed in diverse methods, frequently in lateral fashion.

More to Come
