The speculation around this year's gaming ceremony reached a fever pitch, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley shared a puzzling image of a desert monolith. The secret has now been solved. The acclaimed developer is creating a brand-new Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was debuted with a bold trailer featuring intense imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the very unleashing of hell.
A Different Direction
For those hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio stated ahead of time that a follow-up to its venerated RPGs is not on the cards right now.

The series is also famously flexible, letting players to improvise both in story and combat. Most missions can be completed in multiple ways, frequently in surprising fashion.

- Or, you could bypass a challenge by moving environmental hazards in a clever way.
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, fans can anticipate a new entry in this groundbreaking franchise.
