The anticipation surrounding this year's gaming ceremony was significant, notably after host Geoff Keighley posted an enigmatic image of a desert monolith. The secret has been revealed. The acclaimed developer is working on a brand-new Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was presented with a daring trailer packed with intense imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to scenes of revelry and the literal opening of infernal gates.
A Different Direction
Anyone anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. Larian stated ahead of time 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 next chapter of the core franchise. This distinction suggests that the team is likely designing a real-time experience instead of another tactical title. At this moment, we can only guess, as only a announcement clip is available.
