Larian Studios Announce a Latest Divinity, Labeling it Their Most Ambitious RPG to Date

The speculation surrounding The Game Awards was significant, particularly after host Geoff Keighley posted a mysterious photo of a strange statue. The mystery has now been solved. Larian Studios is working on a completely new Divinity game.

Revealed to be Divinity, the game was showcased with a daring trailer featuring striking imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to scenes of revelry and the very unleashing of hell.

Not the Expected Sequel

Anyone anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. Larian clarified 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 core franchise. This phrasing hints that the team might be building a real-time experience rather than another tactical title. Currently, this is speculation, as only a announcement clip is available.

A Pillar of Modern RPGs

The Divinity series is widely praised and arguably it sparked the modern wave of deep computer role-playing games. These games are defined by rich lore, choice-driven narratives, and flexible progression—traits that subsequently were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

While its setting is familiar fare, what makes Divinity apart is the remarkable agency granted to the player.

The series is also famously open-ended, letting players to find creative solutions throughout the entire experience. Nearly every quest can be solved in multiple ways, often in lateral fashion.

• You might solve a puzzle because you recalled something an animal companion shared.
• Or, you could bypass a challenge by moving environmental hazards in a inventive way.

A New Chapter Begins

It is these creative systems that have cemented the series to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as a top-tier role-playing games in history. Now, players can get ready for more where that came from in this groundbreaking franchise.
