The speculation around the recent awards show has been intense, particularly after host Geoff Keighley posted a mysterious photo of a desert monolith. The secret has now been solved. The acclaimed developer is creating a fresh Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was showcased with a audacious trailer featuring memorable imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the very unleashing of hell.
A Different Direction
For those hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio stated ahead of time that a direct sequel to its beloved RPGs is not on the cards right now.
That said, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a continuation of the main series. This distinction suggests that the team could be designing a real-time experience rather than another turn-based title. For now, it remains theory, as only a announcement clip is available.
A Pillar of Modern RPGs
The Divinity series is widely praised and it's fair to claim it kicked off the recent resurgence of deep computer role-playing games. These games are known for intricate stories, player agency, and deep class systems—qualities that subsequently were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its universe is familiar fare, what truly sets Divinity apart is the immense freedom given to the player.
While numerous modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is brimming with unique possibilities you can achieve with a specific type of character with a personal story.
The series is also famously flexible, enabling players to find creative solutions throughout the entire experience. Virtually all objectives can be approached in diverse methods, often in surprising fashion.
- You might progress the story because you recalled something a dog told you.
- Or, you could bypass a challenge by moving environmental hazards in a unorthodox way.
More to Come
It is these creative systems that have cemented the series to declare games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as one of the best role-playing games in history. Now, the RPG community can anticipate a new entry in this legendary franchise.
