The Baldur's Gate 3 Creators Reveal a Latest Divinity, Labeling it Their Most Ambitious RPG to Date
The buzz about the recent awards show has been intense, especially after host Geoff Keighley posted a puzzling image of a desert monolith. The secret has been revealed. Larian Studios is working on a fresh Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was showcased with a audacious trailer packed with striking imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the very opening of infernal gates.
Not the Expected Sequel
For those expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. Larian stated ahead of time that a third Original Sin game to its venerated RPGs is not on the cards right now.
However, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a next chapter of the core franchise. This distinction implies that the team is likely designing a faster-paced experience as opposed to another tactical title. At this moment, this is speculation, as only a cinematic trailer is available.
What Makes Divinity Special

More to Come
It is these creative systems that allow people to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as a top-tier role-playing games in history. Now, players can look forward to another adventure in this groundbreaking franchise.
