The buzz surrounding The Game Awards has been intense, especially after host Geoff Keighley posted a puzzling image of a desert monolith. The secret has been revealed. The acclaimed developer is creating a fresh Divinity game.

A Different Direction
For those hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. Larian stated ahead of time that a direct sequel to its beloved RPGs is not being worked on now.

A Pillar of Modern RPGs
The Divinity series is highly rated and it's fair to claim it pioneered the contemporary revival of deep computer role-playing games. These games are defined by intricate stories, player agency, and flexible progression—traits that recently reached new heights in games like Baldur's Gate 3.

The Journey Continues
It is precisely these elements that have cemented the series to declare games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as among the greatest role-playing games in history. Now, players can look forward to a new entry in this legendary franchise.
