The buzz surrounding the recent awards show was significant, especially after presenter Geoff Keighley shared a mysterious photo of a desert monolith. The question has been revealed. The acclaimed developer is creating a completely new Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was presented with a bold trailer featuring memorable imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the very opening of infernal gates.
Moving Beyond Original Sin
For those hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. The studio clarified that a third Original Sin game to its venerated RPGs is not on the cards right now.
Nevertheless, the developer described this new Divinity as a continuation of the core franchise. This choice of words hints that the team is likely crafting a real-time experience as opposed to another tactical title. For now, this is speculation, as only a announcement clip is available.
The Legacy of Divinity

In contrast to modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is brimming with specialized paths that are viable if you're playing as a distinct build with a unique decision path.
The series is also famously flexible, enabling players to improvise throughout the entire experience. Nearly every quest can be approached in multiple ways, sometimes in unexpected fashion.

A New Chapter Begins
