The Baldur's Gate 3 Creators Announce a Fresh Divinity, Calling it Their Most Ambitious RPG Ever
The speculation around the recent awards show has been intense, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley posted a mysterious image of a desert monolith. The question has been revealed. Larian Studios is creating a fresh Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was presented with a bold trailer that included intense imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the very opening of infernal gates.
A Different Direction
Anyone expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio clarified that a follow-up to its venerated RPGs is not currently in development.
Nevertheless, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a continuation of the main series. This phrasing suggests that the team might be designing a faster-paced 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 highly rated and it's fair to claim it sparked the modern wave of deep computer role-playing games. These games are defined by detailed worlds, choice-driven narratives, and flexible progression—traits that subsequently reached new heights in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its universe is familiar fare, what makes Divinity apart is the immense freedom granted to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is brimming with specialized paths only possible by choosing a particular class or origin with a personal story.
The series is also famously flexible, letting players to experiment in narrative and gameplay. Nearly every quest can be approached in a variety of manners, sometimes in lateral fashion.

A New Chapter Begins
It is precisely these elements that have cemented the series to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as among the greatest role-playing games in history. Now, the RPG community can get ready for a new entry in this legendary franchise.
