The buzz surrounding The Game Awards has been intense, especially after host Geoff Keighley shared a mysterious photo of a desert monolith. The mystery is finally answered. The acclaimed developer 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 figure engulfed in flames to scenes of revelry and the very unleashing of hell.
Not the Expected Sequel
For those anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio clarified that a third Original Sin game to its beloved RPGs is not being worked on now.
However, the developer described this new Divinity as a evolution of the core franchise. This choice of words implies that the team is likely building a more action-oriented experience as opposed to another tactical title. Currently, this is speculation, as only a announcement clip is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is highly rated and many say it pioneered the contemporary revival of complex computer role-playing games. These games are defined by intricate stories, branching plots, and complex character building—elements that later found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its universe is familiar fare, what makes Divinity apart is the immense freedom granted to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is packed with unique possibilities only possible if you're playing as a specific type of character with a personal story.
The series is also famously permissive, enabling players to find creative solutions throughout the entire experience. Most missions can be solved in diverse methods, sometimes in lateral fashion.
- You might solve a puzzle because you recalled something a non-human character said.
- Or, you could defeat a foe by using the world itself in a inventive way.
More to Come
It is these creative systems that allow people to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as one of the best role-playing games in history. Now, players can anticipate another adventure in this groundbreaking franchise.
