The anticipation about The Game Awards has been intense, especially after host Geoff Keighley shared a puzzling photo of a desert monolith. The secret has now been solved. The acclaimed developer is developing a brand-new Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was debuted with a audacious trailer featuring intense imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the literal descent into chaos.
Not the Expected Sequel
Anyone anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. The studio warned that a follow-up to its venerated RPGs is not currently in development.
However, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a next chapter of the main series. This distinction suggests that the team could be crafting a more action-oriented experience instead of another tactical title. At this moment, this is speculation, as only a announcement clip is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is widely praised and it's fair to claim it kicked off the modern wave of complex computer role-playing games. These games are known for rich lore, player agency, and deep class systems—qualities that later found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its universe is classic fantasy, what truly sets Divinity apart is the remarkable agency bestowed upon the player.
Where many modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is packed with unique possibilities only possible with a distinct build with a unique decision path.
The series is also wonderfully flexible, allowing players to find creative solutions throughout the entire experience. Virtually all objectives can be approached in diverse methods, often in surprising fashion.
- You might solve a puzzle because you recalled something an animal companion shared.
- Or, you could defeat a foe by using the world itself in a unorthodox way.
The Journey Continues
It is these creative systems that allow people to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as among the greatest role-playing games of all time. Now, the RPG community can look forward to a new entry in this legendary franchise.
