The speculation surrounding The Game Awards has been intense, notably after presenter Geoff Keighley posted a mysterious photo of a strange statue. The mystery is finally answered. Larian Studios is working on a brand-new Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was showcased with a audacious trailer featuring intense imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the literal opening of infernal gates.
Moving Beyond Original Sin
Anyone expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. Larian clarified that a third Original Sin game to its venerated RPGs is not currently in development.
