The buzz around the recent awards show was significant, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley shared an enigmatic image of a strange statue. The secret has been revealed. The acclaimed developer is creating a completely new Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was presented with a audacious trailer featuring intense imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the very opening of infernal gates.
Not the Expected Sequel
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 currently in development.
Nevertheless, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a next chapter of the core franchise. This phrasing suggests that the team could be designing a real-time experience rather than another turn-based title. For now, this is speculation, as only a teaser video is available.
