The speculation about The Game Awards was significant, especially after host Geoff Keighley shared an enigmatic image of a desert monolith. The mystery has been revealed. Larian Studios is creating a fresh Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was presented with a daring trailer featuring striking imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the very opening of infernal gates.
A Different Direction
Anyone anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. The studio warned that a follow-up to its venerated RPGs is not on the cards right now.
However, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a evolution of the main series. This choice of words suggests that the team could be designing a more action-oriented experience rather than another turn-based title. Currently, we can only guess, as only a cinematic trailer is available.
What Makes Divinity Special

The series is also notoriously permissive, letting players to find creative solutions in narrative and gameplay. Virtually all objectives can be approached in diverse methods, frequently in lateral fashion.

The Journey Continues
