The anticipation about this year's gaming ceremony reached a fever pitch, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley shared a mysterious photo of a desert monolith. The question is finally answered. Larian Studios is creating a completely new Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was showcased with a bold trailer that included intense imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the literal unleashing of hell.
Not the Expected Sequel
Anyone anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. Larian clarified that a follow-up to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not being worked on now.
