The buzz around the recent awards show reached a fever pitch, notably after presenter Geoff Keighley shared a mysterious image of a strange statue. The mystery has now been solved. The acclaimed developer is creating a brand-new Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was showcased with a audacious trailer packed with striking imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the very descent into chaos.
Moving Beyond Original Sin
Anyone hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio warned that a third Original Sin game to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not on the cards right now.
That said, the developer described this new Divinity as a next chapter of the core franchise. This distinction implies that the team might be crafting a faster-paced experience as opposed to another turn-based title. Currently, we can only guess, as only a announcement clip is available.
A Pillar of Modern RPGs
