The speculation about The Game Awards was significant, notably after host Geoff Keighley posted an enigmatic photo of a strange statue. The secret has now been solved. Larian Studios is developing a completely new Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was showcased with a bold trailer that included striking imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to scenes of revelry and the literal unleashing of hell.
Moving Beyond Original Sin
Anyone hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. The studio stated ahead of time that a direct sequel to its venerated RPGs is not currently in development.
