The speculation surrounding this year's gaming ceremony reached a fever pitch, especially after host Geoff Keighley posted a puzzling image of a desert monolith. The secret is finally answered. Larian Studios is creating a completely new Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was showcased with a bold trailer packed with striking imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to scenes of revelry and the literal descent into chaos.
A Different Direction
Anyone anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. The studio stated ahead of time that a direct sequel to its venerated RPGs is not being worked on now.
