The anticipation surrounding The Game Awards was significant, especially after presenter Geoff Keighley posted a mysterious image of a desert monolith. The question has been revealed. Larian Studios is developing a fresh Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was presented with a daring trailer that included intense imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the literal descent into chaos.
Not the Expected Sequel
For those expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. Larian stated ahead of time that a follow-up to its venerated RPGs is not being worked on now.
That said, the developer described this new Divinity as a continuation of the main series. This phrasing suggests that the team might be building a faster-paced experience rather than another turn-based title. At this moment, it remains theory, as only a announcement clip is available.
