Revealed to be Divinity, the game was showcased with a bold trailer packed with striking imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the very descent into chaos.
Moving Beyond Original Sin
For those hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. Larian stated ahead of time that a third Original Sin game to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not being worked on now.
Nevertheless, the developer described this new Divinity as a next chapter of the core franchise. This distinction hints that the team might be crafting a real-time experience rather than another turn-based title. For now, we can only guess, as only a announcement clip is available.
What Makes Divinity Special

The Journey Continues
