The buzz around The Game Awards reached a fever pitch, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley shared a mysterious photo of a desert monolith. The question is finally answered. The acclaimed developer is creating a completely new Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was debuted with a daring trailer that included striking imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the literal descent into chaos.
A Different Direction
For those anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. The studio stated ahead of time that a follow-up to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not currently in development.
