The speculation about the recent awards show has been intense, especially after host Geoff Keighley shared a puzzling image of a desert monolith. The secret is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is working on a brand-new Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was debuted with a audacious trailer packed with memorable imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the very opening of infernal gates.
Not the Expected Sequel
Anyone hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. Larian stated ahead of time that a direct sequel to its beloved RPGs is not on the cards right now.

The series is also wonderfully permissive, letting players to experiment throughout the entire experience. Nearly every quest can be approached in a variety of manners, sometimes in surprising fashion.
