The buzz surrounding the recent awards show reached a fever pitch, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley posted a puzzling photo of a desert monolith. The secret has been revealed. Larian Studios is creating a completely new Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was presented with a audacious trailer that included memorable imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the very opening of infernal gates.
A Different Direction
For those expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. Larian clarified that a third Original Sin game to its venerated RPGs is not currently in development.
However, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a evolution of the core franchise. This choice of words implies that the team could be crafting a more action-oriented experience instead of another tactical title. Currently, we can only guess, as only a announcement clip is available.
The Legacy of Divinity
