The buzz surrounding the recent awards show reached a fever pitch, particularly after host Geoff Keighley posted a puzzling image of a desert monolith. The mystery is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is working on a completely new Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was debuted with a audacious trailer that included memorable imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to scenes of revelry and the very descent into chaos.
A Different Direction
Anyone expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. The studio stated ahead of time that a direct sequel to its beloved RPGs is not being worked on now.
Nevertheless, the developer described this new Divinity as a evolution of the main series. This choice of words suggests that the team is likely building a more action-oriented experience instead of another turn-based title. Currently, it remains theory, as only a teaser video is available.
A Pillar of Modern RPGs
The Divinity series is universally respected and arguably it sparked the recent resurgence of complex computer role-playing games. These games are defined by intricate stories, choice-driven narratives, and complex character building—qualities that later were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its world is classic fantasy, what makes Divinity apart is the unprecedented level of trust granted to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is packed with unique possibilities you can achieve if you're playing as a distinct build with a personal story.
The series is also famously open-ended, allowing players to experiment throughout the entire experience. Virtually all objectives can be completed in multiple ways, often in unexpected fashion.
- You might find an answer because you recalled something a non-human character said.
- Or, you could defeat a foe by moving environmental hazards in a clever way.
A New Chapter Begins
It is precisely these elements that lead fans and critics to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as a top-tier role-playing games of all time. Now, players can get ready for more where that came from in this groundbreaking franchise.
