The Baldur's Gate 3 Creators Reveal a New Divinity, Calling it Their Largest RPG Ever

The speculation around The Game Awards was significant, notably after host Geoff Keighley posted a mysterious photo of a strange statue. The secret is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is working on a fresh Divinity game.

Announced as Divinity, the game was debuted with a bold trailer packed with striking imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the literal descent into chaos.

A Different Direction

For those hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. The studio warned that a follow-up to its beloved RPGs is not being worked on now.

However, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a continuation of the main series. This distinction hints that the team could be designing a faster-paced experience as opposed to another turn-based title. For now, it remains theory, as only a teaser video is available.

A Pillar of Modern RPGs

The Divinity series is universally respected and it's fair to claim it pioneered the recent resurgence of complex computer role-playing games. These games are celebrated for detailed worlds, choice-driven narratives, and flexible progression—qualities that later found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

While its world is traditional swords and sorcery, what makes Divinity apart is the remarkable agency granted to the player.

Where many modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is full of niche playthroughs that are viable by choosing a distinct build with a unique decision path.

The series is also famously permissive, letting players to experiment both in story and combat. Nearly every quest can be completed in diverse methods, often in surprising fashion.

• You might find an answer because you recalled something a dog told you.
• Or, you could overcome an obstacle by teleporting a glob of lava in a unorthodox way.

More to Come

It is this design philosophy that lead fans and critics to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as one of the best role-playing games in history. Now, players can get ready for a new entry in this esteemed franchise.
