Larian Studios Announce a New Divinity, Calling it Their Largest RPG Ever
The speculation surrounding the recent awards show was significant, notably after presenter Geoff Keighley posted a mysterious photo of a desert monolith. The mystery has now been solved. The acclaimed developer is working on a brand-new Divinity game.
Titled simply Divinity, the game was presented with a daring trailer featuring memorable imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the very descent into chaos.
A Different Direction
For those expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. The studio warned that a third Original Sin game to its beloved RPGs is not being worked on now.
