The speculation surrounding The Game Awards has been intense, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley posted a mysterious photo of a strange statue. The mystery has now been solved. The acclaimed developer is creating a brand-new Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was showcased with a audacious trailer that included memorable imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the literal descent into chaos.
A Different Direction
Anyone expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. The studio warned that a third Original Sin game to its beloved RPGs is not being worked on now.
Nevertheless, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a continuation of the core franchise. This choice of words suggests that the team could be building a more action-oriented experience as opposed to another tactical title. At this moment, we can only guess, as only a cinematic trailer is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is widely praised and many say it pioneered the recent resurgence of complex computer role-playing games. These games are defined by intricate stories, choice-driven narratives, and flexible progression—elements that recently found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its universe is classic fantasy, what really distinguishes Divinity apart is the remarkable agency given to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is brimming with specialized paths only possible with a distinct build with a personal story.
The series is also famously open-ended, enabling players to experiment throughout the entire experience. Virtually all objectives can be completed in multiple ways, often in unexpected fashion.
- You might find an answer because you remembered something an animal companion shared.
- Or, you could bypass a challenge by moving environmental hazards in a clever way.
A New Chapter Begins
It is these creative systems that have cemented the series to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as one of the best role-playing games ever made. Now, players can get ready for a new entry in this legendary franchise.
