The Baldur's Gate 3 Creators Announce a Latest Divinity, Calling it Their Biggest RPG Yet
The speculation about the recent awards show has been intense, particularly after host Geoff Keighley shared an enigmatic image of a strange statue. The question is finally answered. Larian Studios is creating a brand-new Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was presented with a audacious trailer packed with striking imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the literal opening of infernal gates.
A Different Direction
For those hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. The studio warned that a follow-up to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not on the cards right now.
That said, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a continuation of the core franchise. This distinction hints that the team could be crafting a more action-oriented experience rather than another tactical title. Currently, we can only guess, as only a teaser video is available.
What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is highly rated and many say it pioneered the contemporary revival of complex computer role-playing games. These games are celebrated for intricate stories, branching plots, and deep class systems—traits that later found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its world is classic fantasy, what really distinguishes Divinity apart is the immense freedom bestowed upon the player.
While numerous modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is full of unique possibilities that are viable by choosing a specific type of character with a personal story.
The series is also famously permissive, allowing players to experiment both in story and combat. Virtually all objectives can be approached in a variety of manners, sometimes in unexpected fashion.
- You might solve a puzzle because you recalled something an animal companion shared.
- Or, you could overcome an obstacle by teleporting a glob of lava in a unorthodox way.
More to Come
It is precisely these elements that have cemented the series to hail games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as a top-tier role-playing games ever made. Now, fans can look forward to a new entry in this esteemed franchise.
