The Baldur's Gate 3 Creators Unveil a New Divinity, Declaring it Their Largest RPG Ever
The speculation surrounding this year's gaming ceremony reached a fever pitch, especially after presenter Geoff Keighley posted a puzzling image of a strange statue. The question has been revealed. The acclaimed developer is developing a fresh Divinity game.
Titled simply 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 literal opening of infernal gates.
A Different Direction
Anyone hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio warned that a third Original Sin game to its beloved RPGs is not on the cards right now.
Nevertheless, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a continuation of the main series. This choice of words hints that the team is likely building a real-time experience rather than another turn-based title. At this moment, we can only guess, as only a teaser video is available.

The Journey Continues
It is precisely these elements that have cemented the series to hail games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as a top-tier role-playing games in history. Now, fans can look forward to another adventure in this groundbreaking franchise.
