The anticipation about The Game Awards has been intense, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley shared an enigmatic photo of a desert monolith. The mystery has been revealed. The acclaimed developer is creating a fresh Divinity game.

Titled simply Divinity, the game was presented with a daring trailer that included striking imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the literal unleashing of hell.

Not the Expected Sequel

For those expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. The studio stated ahead of time that a direct sequel to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not on the cards right now.

That said, the developer described this new Divinity as a continuation of the core franchise. This distinction suggests that the team is likely designing a faster-paced 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 universally respected and many say it sparked the recent resurgence of deep computer role-playing games. These games are defined by intricate stories, choice-driven narratives, and flexible progression—elements that subsequently were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

While its world is familiar fare, what makes Divinity apart is the immense freedom bestowed upon the player.

While numerous modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is brimming with niche playthroughs only possible with a specific type of character with a personal story.

The series is also famously flexible, enabling players to find creative solutions throughout the entire experience. Virtually all objectives can be approached in diverse methods, sometimes in surprising fashion.

• You might solve a puzzle because you remembered something a dog told you.
• Or, you could overcome an obstacle by using the world itself in a clever way.

The Journey Continues

It is these creative systems that allow people to hail games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as a top-tier role-playing games in history. Now, fans can get ready for more where that came from in this legendary franchise.
