The anticipation around the recent awards show reached a fever pitch, particularly after host Geoff Keighley shared a mysterious image of a desert monolith. The question has now been solved. Larian Studios is working on a completely new Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was presented with a audacious trailer that included intense imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the literal unleashing of hell.
Not the Expected Sequel
For those expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. Larian stated ahead of time that a third Original Sin game to its beloved RPGs is not being worked on now.
