The speculation surrounding The Game Awards was significant, especially after host Geoff Keighley shared a mysterious image of a strange statue. The secret has now been solved. Larian Studios is working on a fresh Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was showcased with a daring trailer that included striking imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the very opening of infernal gates.
Not the Expected Sequel
For those hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio warned that a third Original Sin game to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not currently in development.
