🔗 Share this article Larian Studios Announce a New Divinity, Declaring it Their Biggest RPG Yet The anticipation surrounding this year's gaming ceremony was significant, notably after host Geoff Keighley shared a puzzling image of a desert monolith. The question has now been solved. Larian Studios is creating a fresh Divinity game. Announced as Divinity, the game was showcased with a bold trailer featuring striking imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the literal descent into chaos. Not the Expected Sequel For those anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. Larian stated ahead of time that a direct sequel to its beloved RPGs is not on the cards right now. That said, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a next chapter of the main series. This choice of words implies that the team might be building a more action-oriented experience as opposed to another turn-based title. At this moment, this is speculation, as only a cinematic trailer is available. A Pillar of Modern RPGs The Divinity series is universally respected and it's fair to claim it pioneered the recent resurgence of crunchy computer role-playing games. These games are known for intricate stories, branching plots, and flexible progression—qualities that subsequently were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3. While its universe is classic fantasy, what truly sets Divinity apart is the unprecedented level of trust bestowed upon the player. While numerous modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is packed with specialized paths you can achieve by choosing a distinct build with a personal story. The series is also famously open-ended, enabling players to improvise throughout the entire experience. Most missions can be approached in a variety of manners, often in unexpected fashion. You might find an answer because you recalled something an animal companion shared. Or, you could overcome an obstacle by teleporting a glob of lava in a clever way. More to Come It is these creative systems that allow people to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as one of the best role-playing games in history. Now, players can anticipate a new entry in this esteemed franchise.
