The anticipation around the recent awards show reached a fever pitch, particularly after host Geoff Keighley shared an enigmatic photo of a strange statue. The mystery is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is working on a completely new Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was debuted with a bold trailer featuring intense imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the literal unleashing of hell.
Not the Expected Sequel
Anyone hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio clarified that a direct sequel to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not on the cards right now.
Nevertheless, the developer described this new Divinity as a evolution of the core franchise. This phrasing suggests that the team is likely crafting a faster-paced experience rather than another turn-based title. Currently, it remains theory, as only a announcement clip is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is universally respected and many say it kicked off the modern wave of crunchy computer role-playing games. These games are defined by rich lore, branching plots, and complex character building—elements that recently reached new heights in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its universe is classic fantasy, what makes Divinity apart is the unprecedented level of trust given to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is packed with unique possibilities that are viable if you're playing as a specific type of character with a personal story.
The series is also famously open-ended, allowing players to find creative solutions throughout the entire experience. Most missions can be approached in diverse methods, sometimes in unexpected fashion.
- You might progress the story because you recalled something an animal companion shared.
- Or, you could overcome an obstacle by teleporting a glob of lava in a inventive way.
A New Chapter Begins
It is precisely these elements that allow people to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as a top-tier role-playing games in history. Now, players can look forward to a new entry in this esteemed franchise.
