The speculation about this year's gaming ceremony has been intense, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley shared a puzzling image of a strange statue. The question has been revealed. Larian Studios is working on a brand-new Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was presented with a daring trailer featuring intense imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the literal unleashing of hell.
Not the Expected Sequel
Anyone anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. The studio stated ahead of time that a third Original Sin game to its venerated RPGs is not being worked on now.

While its universe is familiar fare, what truly sets Divinity apart is the remarkable agency given to the player.

The series is also famously permissive, enabling players to find creative solutions both in story and combat. Most missions can be completed in diverse methods, often in unexpected fashion.
