Larian Studios Announce a Latest Divinity, Calling it Their Biggest RPG to Date

The anticipation around the recent awards show reached a fever pitch, particularly after host Geoff Keighley posted an enigmatic photo of a desert monolith. The secret has now been solved. The acclaimed developer is working on a completely new Divinity game.

Titled simply Divinity, the game was debuted with a bold trailer featuring memorable imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the very unleashing of hell.

A Different Direction

For those anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. Larian clarified that a direct sequel to its beloved RPGs is not currently in development.

That said, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a next chapter of the core franchise. This phrasing implies that the team is likely building a real-time experience as opposed to another turn-based title. For now, we can only guess, as only a cinematic trailer is available.

The Legacy of Divinity

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, branching plots, and deep class systems—elements that later were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

While its universe is familiar fare, what truly sets Divinity apart is the unprecedented level of trust bestowed upon the player.

Where many modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is packed with specialized paths only possible with a distinct build with a personal story.

The series is also famously open-ended, enabling players to experiment both in story and combat. Virtually all objectives can be approached in multiple ways, often in surprising fashion.

  • You might progress the story because you heeded something a non-human character said.
  • Or, you could overcome an obstacle by using the world itself in a inventive way.

A New Chapter Begins

It is precisely these elements that allow people to hail games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as a top-tier role-playing games of all time. Now, the RPG community can anticipate a new entry in this legendary franchise.
