The anticipation surrounding The Game Awards has been intense, especially after host Geoff Keighley shared a mysterious photo of a strange statue. The secret is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is working on a completely new Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was presented with a daring trailer featuring intense imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the very descent into chaos.
Moving Beyond Original Sin
Anyone anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio warned that a follow-up to its beloved RPGs is not being worked on now.
Nevertheless, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a continuation of the main series. This distinction suggests that the team might be crafting a faster-paced experience rather than another turn-based title. At this moment, it remains theory, as only a teaser video is available.
A Pillar of Modern RPGs
The Divinity series is widely praised and many say it pioneered the contemporary revival of complex computer role-playing games. These games are defined by rich lore, player agency, and flexible progression—qualities that later found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its setting is traditional swords and sorcery, what makes Divinity apart is the remarkable agency given to the player.
While numerous modern RPGs have pared back options, Divinity is full of unique possibilities you can achieve with a distinct build with a unique decision path.
The series is also famously flexible, allowing players to experiment throughout the entire experience. Most missions can be completed in multiple ways, frequently in lateral fashion.
- You might progress the story because you heeded something an animal companion shared.
- Or, you could defeat a foe by teleporting a glob of lava in a clever way.
A New Chapter Begins
It is these creative systems that allow people to hail games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as a top-tier role-playing games in history. Now, players can get ready for a new entry in this esteemed franchise.
