Larian Studios Reveal a New Divinity, Calling it Their Largest RPG to Date

The speculation around the recent awards show reached a fever pitch, notably after host Geoff Keighley shared an enigmatic image of a desert monolith. The question has been revealed. Larian Studios is developing a brand-new Divinity game.

Revealed to be Divinity, the game was presented with a daring trailer that included intense imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the literal opening of infernal gates.

Moving Beyond Original Sin

For those hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. Larian clarified that a direct sequel to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not currently in development.

However, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a next chapter of the main series. This phrasing suggests that the team is likely designing a faster-paced experience instead of another tactical title. For now, we can only guess, as only a teaser video is available.

A Pillar of Modern RPGs

The Divinity series is universally respected and many say it sparked the modern wave of crunchy computer role-playing games. These games are defined by detailed worlds, choice-driven narratives, and deep class systems—traits that recently were perfected in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

While its world is classic fantasy, what truly sets Divinity apart is the unprecedented level of trust given to the player.

While numerous modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is full of niche playthroughs that are viable by choosing a specific type of character with a unique decision path.

The series is also notoriously permissive, enabling players to find creative solutions both in story and combat. Virtually all objectives can be solved in multiple ways, often in lateral fashion.

• You might find an answer because you remembered something an animal companion shared.
• Or, you could overcome an obstacle by using the world itself in a unorthodox way.

A New Chapter Begins

It is precisely these elements that have cemented the series to declare games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as one of the best role-playing games in history. Now, fans can anticipate a new entry in this esteemed franchise.
