The buzz surrounding this year's gaming ceremony has been intense, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley posted a mysterious image of a desert monolith. The mystery has been revealed. 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 an orgy and the very opening of infernal gates.
Not the Expected Sequel
For those expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio stated ahead of time that a third Original Sin game to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not currently in development.
Nevertheless, the developer described this new Divinity as a evolution of the core franchise. This distinction implies that the team might be designing a more action-oriented experience rather than another turn-based title. Currently, we can only guess, as only a announcement clip is available.
What Makes Divinity Special

A New Chapter Begins
It is precisely these elements that have cemented the series to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as among the greatest role-playing games ever made. Now, fans can get ready for a new entry in this esteemed franchise.
