The speculation about The Game Awards has been intense, notably after host Geoff Keighley shared an enigmatic image of a strange statue. The mystery is finally answered. Larian Studios is creating a fresh Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was presented with a daring trailer featuring striking imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the very opening of infernal gates.
A Different Direction
For those expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. The studio stated ahead of time that a third Original Sin game to its beloved RPGs is not being worked on now.

The series is also notoriously open-ended, letting players to improvise throughout the entire experience. Nearly every quest can be approached in diverse methods, frequently in lateral fashion.

- Or, you could overcome an obstacle by using the world itself in a clever way.
More to Come
