The anticipation about this year's gaming ceremony reached a fever pitch, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley posted an enigmatic photo of a desert monolith. The question has now been solved. The acclaimed developer is working on a completely new Divinity game.

Announced as Divinity, the game was presented with a bold trailer packed with intense imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the literal descent into chaos.

A Different Direction

Anyone hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. The studio warned that a direct sequel to its beloved RPGs is not being worked on now.

That said, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a evolution of the main series. This phrasing implies that the team is likely designing a more action-oriented experience as opposed to another tactical title. Currently, we can only guess, as only a cinematic trailer is available.

A Pillar of Modern RPGs

The Divinity series is highly rated and many say it sparked the recent resurgence of deep computer role-playing games. These games are celebrated for detailed worlds, branching plots, and complex character building—elements that later found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

While its world is familiar fare, what makes Divinity apart is the unprecedented level of trust bestowed upon the player.

Where many modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is packed with niche playthroughs that are viable if you're playing as a distinct build with a unique decision path.

The series is also wonderfully open-ended, letting players to improvise both in story and combat. Virtually all objectives can be approached in multiple ways, often in lateral fashion.

• You might find an answer because you recalled something an animal companion shared.
• 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 lead fans and critics to hail games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as one of the best role-playing games of all time. Now, players can look forward to a new entry in this legendary franchise.
