Titled simply Divinity, the game was debuted with a daring trailer featuring memorable imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the literal unleashing of hell.
Not the Expected Sequel
For those hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. Larian stated ahead of time that a direct sequel to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not currently in development.
That said, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a next chapter of the main series. This phrasing hints that the team could be crafting a real-time experience rather than another tactical title. For now, we can only guess, as only a teaser video is available.
