The buzz about the recent awards show was significant, notably after host Geoff Keighley posted a mysterious photo of a desert monolith. The mystery is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is creating a fresh Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was showcased with a audacious trailer packed with striking imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to scenes of revelry and the very unleashing of hell.
A Different Direction
Anyone hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. Larian warned that a follow-up to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not on the cards right now.
Nevertheless, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a next chapter of the main series. This phrasing suggests that the team is likely building a faster-paced experience rather than another tactical title. Currently, we can only guess, as only a teaser video is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
