Larian Studios Reveal a New Divinity, Labeling it Their Largest RPG to Date

The buzz about The Game Awards reached a fever pitch, especially after host Geoff Keighley shared an enigmatic photo of a desert monolith. The secret has now been solved. Larian Studios is developing a brand-new Divinity game.

Revealed to be Divinity, the game was presented with a audacious trailer that included striking imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the literal descent into chaos.

A Different Direction

Anyone expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio stated ahead of time that a follow-up to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not on the cards right now.

That said, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a next chapter of the core franchise. This choice of words hints that the team is likely designing a more action-oriented experience as opposed to another tactical title. For now, we can only guess, as only a teaser video is available.

A Pillar of Modern RPGs

The Divinity series is highly rated and arguably it kicked off the recent resurgence of crunchy computer role-playing games. These games are known for detailed worlds, choice-driven narratives, and complex character building—traits that later found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

While its setting is traditional swords and sorcery, what makes Divinity apart is the remarkable agency given to the player.

Where many modern RPGs have pared back options, Divinity is brimming with unique possibilities that are viable by choosing a specific type of character with a specific history of choices.

The series is also notoriously open-ended, letting players to improvise in narrative and gameplay. Nearly every quest can be approached in diverse methods, frequently in unexpected fashion.

• You might find an answer because you recalled something a dog told you.
• Or, you could defeat a foe by moving environmental hazards in a unorthodox way.

A New Chapter Begins

It is these creative systems that have cemented the series to hail 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 legendary franchise.
