The speculation about the recent awards show reached a fever pitch, particularly after host Geoff Keighley posted an enigmatic image of a strange statue. The question has been revealed. Larian Studios is creating a brand-new Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was presented with a audacious trailer that included striking imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the very descent into chaos.
A Different Direction
For those expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio warned that a direct sequel to its beloved RPGs is not on the cards right now.
That said, the developer described this new Divinity as a next chapter of the main series. This phrasing hints that the team is likely designing a faster-paced experience rather than another turn-based title. At this moment, we can only guess, as only a cinematic trailer is available.

More to Come
