The buzz about the recent awards show was significant, particularly after host Geoff Keighley posted a mysterious image of a strange statue. The question has been revealed. Larian Studios is working on a brand-new Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was showcased with a audacious trailer that included striking imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the literal unleashing of hell.
A Different Direction
Anyone anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. Larian clarified that a direct sequel to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not being worked on now.
Nevertheless, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a continuation of the core franchise. This distinction hints that the team could be designing a real-time experience instead of another turn-based title. For now, it remains theory, as only a teaser video is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is highly rated and arguably it kicked off the recent resurgence of complex computer role-playing games. These games are known for detailed worlds, branching plots, and complex character building—traits that later found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

More to Come
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, players can anticipate a new entry in this groundbreaking franchise.
