The buzz about The Game Awards reached a fever pitch, notably after host Geoff Keighley posted a puzzling photo of a desert monolith. The mystery has been revealed. The acclaimed developer is working on a fresh Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was presented with a bold trailer that included memorable imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the literal descent into chaos.
Moving Beyond Original Sin
Anyone expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. The studio stated ahead of time that a follow-up to its beloved RPGs is not on the cards right now.
However, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a next chapter of the main series. This phrasing suggests that the team could be designing a faster-paced experience instead of another tactical title. At this moment, we can only guess, as only a cinematic trailer is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is highly rated and arguably it sparked the modern wave of complex computer role-playing games. These games are defined by detailed worlds, player agency, and flexible progression—traits that recently were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its setting is classic fantasy, what makes Divinity apart is the immense freedom bestowed upon the player.
While numerous modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is brimming with niche playthroughs you can achieve with a specific type of character with a unique decision path.
The series is also notoriously permissive, allowing players to experiment throughout the entire experience. Nearly every quest can be solved in diverse methods, often in lateral fashion.
- You might find an answer because you remembered something an animal companion shared.
- Or, you could defeat a foe by teleporting a glob of lava in a inventive way.
More to Come
It is precisely these elements that have cemented the series to declare games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as one of the best role-playing games in history. Now, fans can look forward to another adventure in this esteemed franchise.
