Larian Studios is reviving the Divinity series with its latest game, which promises to be the biggest and most ambitious one yet. The studio's upcoming project was unveiled at this year's Game Awards, leaving fans eagerly anticipating more details.
The decision to revive the series follows a five-year gap since Larian released "Divinity: Original Sin II" in 2017, which solidified its reputation as a developer of exceptional RPGs. However, the company took a break from the beloved franchise to focus on "Baldur's Gate III," another highly-acclaimed release that earned it Game of the Year honors.
Rumors had been circulating about a new Divinity game in recent months, fueled by an image of a statue erected in the Mojave Desert, which matched a recently-trademarked logo. The reveal at the Game Awards was met with excitement, as a live performance took place featuring actors being hoisted into the air before a trailer that promised to be intense and thought-provoking.
The trailer itself is characterized by its dark and gruesome tone, drawing comparisons to "The Wicker Man." Without giving too much away, it's clear that Larian Studios has outdone itself in crafting a narrative that will leave players unsettled and invested. However, the release window for the game remains under wraps at this time.
Game enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting more information on the upcoming Divinity title, which promises to offer "more breadth and depth than ever before." With its track record of delivering exceptional RPGs, Larian Studios is well-positioned to exceed expectations with its next project.
