The speculation about the recent awards show has been intense, notably after host Geoff Keighley shared an enigmatic image of a desert monolith. The mystery has now been solved. The acclaimed developer is working on a completely new Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was presented with a bold trailer that included memorable imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the literal descent into chaos.
Moving Beyond Original Sin
Anyone expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. The studio stated ahead of time that a third Original Sin game to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not currently in development.
However, the developer described this new Divinity as a next chapter of the main series. This choice of words implies that the team could be building a real-time experience rather than another turn-based title. At this moment, this is speculation, as only a cinematic trailer is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is highly rated and arguably it kicked off the recent resurgence of deep computer role-playing games. These games are defined by intricate stories, branching plots, and complex character building—traits that subsequently found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its universe is classic fantasy, what makes Divinity apart is the immense freedom granted to the player.
While numerous modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is packed with niche playthroughs you can achieve by choosing a particular class or origin with a unique decision path.
The series is also notoriously permissive, allowing players to experiment both in story and combat. Virtually all objectives can be solved in a variety of manners, frequently in surprising fashion.
- You might progress the story because you remembered something a non-human character said.
- Or, you could bypass a challenge by teleporting a glob of lava in a clever way.
The Journey Continues
It is these creative systems that allow people to hail games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as a top-tier role-playing games in history. Now, players can look forward to more where that came from in this esteemed franchise.
