The speculation about this year's gaming ceremony has been intense, notably after presenter Geoff Keighley posted a mysterious image of a strange statue. The question has been revealed. The acclaimed developer is developing a completely new Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was presented with a daring trailer that included memorable imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the very descent into chaos.
A Different Direction
For those expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio warned that a third Original Sin game to its venerated RPGs is not currently in development.
Nevertheless, the developer described this new Divinity as a next chapter of the main series. This choice of words hints that the team could be building a more action-oriented experience instead of another turn-based title. Currently, we can only guess, as only a announcement clip is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is universally respected and arguably it sparked the contemporary revival of deep computer role-playing games. These games are defined by rich lore, choice-driven narratives, and deep class systems—qualities that later found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its universe is classic fantasy, what truly sets Divinity apart is the unprecedented level of trust granted to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have pared back options, Divinity is full of unique possibilities you can achieve by choosing a particular class or origin with a personal story.
The series is also famously permissive, allowing players to experiment throughout the entire experience. Virtually all objectives can be solved in multiple ways, frequently in lateral fashion.
- You might solve a puzzle because you remembered something a dog told you.
- Or, you could defeat a foe by teleporting a glob of lava in a clever way.
The Journey Continues
It is precisely these elements that allow people to declare games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as one of the best role-playing games of all time. Now, fans can anticipate more where that came from in this esteemed franchise.
