The Baldur's Gate 3 Creators Reveal a New Divinity, Labeling it Their Biggest RPG Ever
The speculation about The Game Awards was significant, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley posted a puzzling image of a strange statue. The question has now been solved. The acclaimed developer is creating a brand-new Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was debuted with a audacious trailer featuring intense imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the literal unleashing of hell.
A Different Direction
For those expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. The studio clarified that a follow-up to its venerated RPGs is not currently in development.
However, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a evolution of the main series. This phrasing suggests that the team could be building a faster-paced experience instead of another turn-based title. At this moment, this is speculation, as only a cinematic trailer is available.
The Legacy of Divinity
The Divinity series is widely praised and it's fair to claim it kicked off the recent resurgence of deep computer role-playing games. These games are known for rich lore, choice-driven narratives, and deep class systems—qualities that later reached new heights in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its world is classic fantasy, what makes Divinity apart is the remarkable agency granted to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is full of specialized paths that are viable if you're playing as a distinct build with a unique decision path.
The series is also wonderfully open-ended, enabling players to experiment in narrative and gameplay. Virtually all objectives can be approached in a variety of manners, frequently in surprising fashion.

A New Chapter Begins
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, fans can anticipate a new entry in this legendary franchise.
