The buzz surrounding this year's gaming ceremony has been intense, notably after presenter Geoff Keighley posted a mysterious photo of a desert monolith. The question is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is creating a completely new Divinity game.

Announced as Divinity, the game was showcased with a bold trailer that included intense imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the very opening of infernal gates.

A Different Direction

For those hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. The studio warned that a third Original Sin game to its beloved RPGs is not currently in development.

However, the developer described this new Divinity as a continuation of the main series. This distinction hints that the team might be designing a real-time experience instead of another turn-based title. At this moment, this is speculation, as only a teaser video is available.

What Makes Divinity Special

The Divinity series is universally respected and arguably it kicked off the contemporary revival of deep computer role-playing games. These games are known for detailed worlds, choice-driven narratives, and flexible progression—traits that recently found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

While its setting is traditional swords and sorcery, what makes Divinity apart is the immense freedom bestowed upon the player.

While numerous modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is packed with niche playthroughs only possible with a specific type of character with a unique decision path.

The series is also wonderfully flexible, letting players to find creative solutions throughout the entire experience. Virtually all objectives can be solved in multiple ways, sometimes in unexpected fashion.

• You might progress the story because you recalled something an animal companion shared.
• Or, you could defeat a foe by teleporting a glob of lava in a clever way.

A New Chapter Begins

It is precisely these elements that allow people to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as among the greatest role-playing games in history. Now, players can look forward to another adventure in this legendary franchise.
