The Baldur's Gate 3 Creators Reveal a Latest Divinity, Calling it Their Largest RPG Ever
The speculation surrounding The Game Awards has been intense, especially after host Geoff Keighley posted an enigmatic image of a desert monolith. The secret is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is creating a fresh Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was showcased with a audacious trailer packed with intense imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to scenes of revelry and the very descent into chaos.
Not the Expected Sequel
For those expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. The studio clarified that a third Original Sin game to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not being worked on now.
That said, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a continuation of the main series. This choice of words hints that the team is likely crafting a more action-oriented experience instead of another turn-based title. Currently, this is speculation, as only a announcement clip is available.
What Makes Divinity Special

While its setting is traditional swords and sorcery, what truly sets Divinity apart is the remarkable agency given to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is full of unique possibilities that are viable if you're playing as a distinct build with a unique decision path.
The series is also famously permissive, allowing players to experiment throughout the entire experience. Nearly every quest can be approached in a variety of manners, often in lateral fashion.
