The anticipation surrounding the recent awards show was significant, notably after presenter Geoff Keighley posted a mysterious photo of a desert monolith. The question is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is working on a completely new Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was debuted with a daring trailer featuring memorable imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the very descent into chaos.
Not the Expected Sequel
For those anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. The studio clarified that a third Original Sin game to its beloved RPGs is not being worked on now.
Nevertheless, the developer described this new Divinity as a continuation of the main series. This distinction hints that the team is likely building a more action-oriented experience rather than another tactical title. Currently, this is speculation, as only a teaser video is available.

The Divinity series is highly rated and many say it pioneered the contemporary revival of deep computer role-playing games. These games are known for rich lore, branching plots, and complex character building—qualities that later found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its universe is classic fantasy, what truly sets Divinity apart is the unprecedented level of trust given to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have pared back options, Divinity is brimming with niche playthroughs that are viable with a particular class or origin with a personal story.
The series is also famously open-ended, allowing players to improvise both in story and combat. Most missions can be completed in a variety of manners, frequently in surprising fashion.
