The buzz around this year's gaming ceremony was significant, notably after host Geoff Keighley shared a puzzling photo of a strange statue. The secret is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is creating a completely new Divinity game.

Revealed to be Divinity, the game was showcased with a bold trailer packed with striking imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the literal unleashing of hell.

Not the Expected Sequel

For those expecting 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.

However, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a evolution of the main series. This distinction suggests that the team is likely crafting a faster-paced experience rather than another tactical title. For now, we can only guess, as only a cinematic trailer is available.

A Pillar of Modern RPGs

The Divinity series is highly rated and it's fair to claim it pioneered the recent resurgence of complex computer role-playing games. These games are known for detailed worlds, choice-driven narratives, and complex character building—qualities that subsequently reached new heights in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

While its setting is traditional swords and sorcery, what makes Divinity apart is the remarkable agency given to the player.

While numerous modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is brimming with unique possibilities that are viable with a distinct build with a unique decision path.

The series is also wonderfully permissive, allowing players to experiment both in story and combat. Virtually all objectives can be approached in diverse methods, often in lateral fashion.

• You might find an answer because you heeded something a dog told you.
• Or, you could overcome an obstacle by moving environmental hazards in a inventive way.

More to Come

It is precisely these elements that lead fans and critics to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as one of the best role-playing games of all time. Now, players can look forward to another adventure in this esteemed franchise.
