Titled simply Divinity, the game was debuted with a daring trailer packed with intense imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the literal unleashing of hell.
A Different Direction
For those expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. Larian warned that a third Original Sin game to its beloved RPGs is not being worked on now.
That said, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a next chapter of the core franchise. This choice of words hints that the team is likely designing a faster-paced experience rather than another turn-based title. Currently, we can only guess, as only a teaser video is available.
