The Baldur's Gate 3 Creators Unveil a New Divinity, Declaring it Their Largest RPG Yet

The speculation surrounding this year's gaming ceremony was significant, especially after host Geoff Keighley shared a puzzling photo of a desert monolith. The question is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is creating a brand-new Divinity game.

Titled simply Divinity, the game was showcased with a daring trailer featuring striking imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the very opening of infernal gates.

Not the Expected Sequel

Anyone hoping for 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.

Nevertheless, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a next chapter of the main series. This phrasing hints that the team is likely building a real-time experience rather than another turn-based title. Currently, this is speculation, as only a teaser video is available.

The Legacy of Divinity

The Divinity series is highly rated and many say it sparked the recent resurgence of deep computer role-playing games. These games are known for detailed worlds, branching plots, 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 unprecedented level of trust given to the player.

Where many modern RPGs have pared back options, Divinity is full of unique possibilities you can achieve with a distinct build with a unique decision path.

The series is also wonderfully permissive, enabling players to improvise in narrative and gameplay. Most missions can be approached in multiple ways, frequently in lateral fashion.

• You might solve a puzzle because you recalled something a non-human character said.
• Or, you could bypass a challenge by teleporting a glob of lava in a clever way.

A New Chapter Begins

It is precisely these elements that allow people to hail games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as one of the best role-playing games ever made. Now, fans can anticipate another adventure in this groundbreaking franchise.
