The buzz about this year's gaming ceremony reached a fever pitch, especially after host Geoff Keighley shared an enigmatic photo of a desert monolith. The secret is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is developing a brand-new Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was showcased with a bold trailer that included intense imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to scenes of revelry and the literal opening of infernal gates.
Not the Expected Sequel
For those hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio clarified that a direct sequel to its beloved RPGs is not being worked on now.
That said, the developer described this new Divinity as a next chapter of the core franchise. This distinction suggests that the team could be building a faster-paced experience as opposed to another turn-based title. For now, we can only guess, as only a announcement clip is available.
