The buzz about The Game Awards reached a fever pitch, especially after presenter Geoff Keighley posted an enigmatic photo of a desert monolith. The question has now been solved. Larian Studios is developing a fresh Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was showcased with a audacious trailer packed with memorable imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to scenes of revelry and the very descent into chaos.
A Different Direction
Anyone hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. Larian clarified that a third Original Sin game to its venerated RPGs is not being worked on now.
That said, the developer described this new Divinity as a evolution of the core franchise. This distinction implies that the team might be building a real-time experience instead of another turn-based title. At this moment, we can only guess, as only a teaser video is available.
A Pillar of Modern RPGs

The series is also famously flexible, letting players to experiment throughout the entire experience. Virtually all objectives can be completed in diverse methods, sometimes in surprising fashion.
