Larian Studios Announce a Fresh Divinity, Labeling it Their Largest RPG Ever

The speculation about this year's gaming ceremony reached a fever pitch, especially after host Geoff Keighley posted a mysterious image of a desert monolith. The question is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is working on a brand-new Divinity game.

Revealed to be Divinity, the game was showcased with a bold trailer that included striking imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the very unleashing of hell.

A Different Direction

Anyone expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. Larian clarified that a third Original Sin game to its beloved RPGs is not on the cards right now.

However, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a evolution of the core franchise. This phrasing implies that the team is likely designing a faster-paced experience rather than another tactical title. For now, we can only guess, as only a cinematic trailer is available.
