The anticipation about the recent awards show has been intense, especially after presenter Geoff Keighley posted an enigmatic photo of a strange statue. The mystery has now been solved. Larian Studios is working on a completely new Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was debuted with a daring trailer featuring memorable imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the literal descent into chaos.
Moving Beyond Original Sin
Anyone expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. The studio warned that a third Original Sin game to its beloved RPGs is not on the cards right now.

The series is also wonderfully permissive, allowing players to improvise throughout the entire experience. Nearly every quest can be approached in diverse methods, frequently in surprising fashion.
