The speculation around this year's gaming ceremony has been intense, notably after presenter Geoff Keighley shared a mysterious photo of a strange statue. The question has been revealed. Larian Studios is creating a brand-new Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was debuted with a daring trailer that included memorable imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the very opening of infernal gates.
A Different Direction
For those hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. The studio warned that a follow-up to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not on the cards right now.
However, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a continuation of the core franchise. This distinction suggests that the team could be designing a faster-paced experience as opposed to another tactical title. For now, we can only guess, as only a teaser video is available.

A New Chapter Begins
