The anticipation about The Game Awards has been intense, especially after presenter Geoff Keighley posted a mysterious image of a strange statue. The question has been revealed. The acclaimed developer is creating a fresh Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was presented with a daring trailer that included memorable imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the very unleashing of hell.
Not the Expected Sequel
For those expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. The studio warned that a follow-up to its beloved RPGs is not on the cards right now.
Nevertheless, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a continuation of the main series. This phrasing suggests that the team could be crafting a more action-oriented experience as opposed to another turn-based title. At this moment, we can only guess, as only a cinematic trailer is available.
A Pillar of Modern RPGs
