The speculation about this year's gaming ceremony has been intense, especially after host Geoff Keighley posted a puzzling image of a desert monolith. The secret has now been solved. The acclaimed developer is developing a brand-new Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was showcased with a daring trailer that included memorable imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to scenes of revelry and the very descent into chaos.
A Different Direction
Anyone expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. The studio clarified that a direct sequel to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not being worked on now.
Nevertheless, the developer described this new Divinity as a evolution of the core franchise. This phrasing hints that the team might be designing a more action-oriented experience rather than another tactical title. For now, we can only guess, as only a cinematic trailer is available.

While its world is familiar fare, what truly sets Divinity apart is the immense freedom given to the player.
Where many modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is packed with niche playthroughs you can achieve with a specific type of character with a personal story.
The series is also notoriously permissive, enabling players to experiment both in story and combat. Most missions can be completed in diverse methods, sometimes in lateral fashion.
