The anticipation surrounding this year's gaming ceremony reached a fever pitch, especially after presenter Geoff Keighley posted a mysterious image of a desert monolith. The secret has now been solved. Larian Studios is creating a brand-new Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was debuted with a bold trailer packed with intense imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the literal opening of infernal gates.
Not the Expected Sequel
Anyone hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. The studio stated ahead of time that a direct sequel to its venerated RPGs is not currently in development.
Nevertheless, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a next chapter of the core franchise. This phrasing implies that the team might be crafting a real-time experience rather than another tactical title. At this moment, we can only guess, as only a cinematic trailer is available.
The Legacy of Divinity
