The speculation about the recent awards show has been intense, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley shared a mysterious image of a desert monolith. The question has now been solved. Larian Studios is creating a fresh Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was presented with a daring trailer packed with intense imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the literal unleashing of hell.
Not the Expected Sequel
Anyone expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. Larian warned that a third Original Sin game to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not currently in development.
Nevertheless, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a next chapter of the core franchise. This choice of words implies that the team could be building a more action-oriented experience instead of another tactical title. Currently, this is speculation, as only a cinematic trailer is available.
A Pillar of Modern RPGs
The Divinity series is highly rated and many say it kicked off the modern wave of deep computer role-playing games. These games are celebrated for detailed worlds, player agency, and deep class systems—traits that recently reached new heights in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its world is traditional swords and sorcery, what truly sets Divinity apart is the immense freedom bestowed upon the player.

The series is also famously open-ended, allowing players to find creative solutions in narrative and gameplay. Virtually all objectives can be approached in diverse methods, sometimes in surprising fashion.
