The anticipation around the recent awards show was significant, particularly after host Geoff Keighley posted a mysterious photo of a strange statue. The secret has been revealed. Larian Studios is creating a fresh Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was showcased with a bold trailer packed with striking imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the literal unleashing of hell.
Not the Expected Sequel
Anyone hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. Larian stated ahead of time that a direct sequel to its venerated RPGs is not being worked on now.
However, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a next chapter of the main series. This distinction suggests that the team could be building a faster-paced experience instead of another tactical title. For now, we can only guess, as only a announcement clip is available.
