Larian Studios Unveil a Latest Divinity, Declaring it Their Biggest RPG Ever
The speculation surrounding the recent awards show was significant, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley shared a mysterious image of a strange statue. The secret has now been solved. The acclaimed developer is creating a completely new Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was showcased with a audacious trailer featuring striking imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the literal unleashing of hell.
A Different Direction
Anyone expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. Larian stated ahead of time that a follow-up to its beloved RPGs is not currently in development.
That said, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a continuation of the main series. This choice of words hints that the team might be designing a more action-oriented experience rather than another turn-based title. At this moment, it remains theory, as only a announcement clip is available.
The Legacy of Divinity
The Divinity series is widely praised and many say it sparked the modern wave of crunchy computer role-playing games. These games are known for detailed worlds, player agency, and complex character building—traits that subsequently were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its setting is familiar fare, what really distinguishes Divinity apart is the remarkable agency granted to the player.
While numerous modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is full of unique possibilities that are viable with a distinct build with a personal story.
The series is also famously open-ended, allowing players to improvise both in story and combat. Virtually all objectives can be solved in diverse methods, frequently in surprising fashion.

More to Come
