Not the Expected Sequel
Anyone expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. Larian clarified that a direct sequel to its beloved RPGs is not currently in development.
That said, the developer described this new Divinity as a next chapter of the core franchise. This distinction implies that the team might be designing a real-time experience instead of another turn-based title. Currently, it remains theory, as only a announcement clip is available.
The Legacy of Divinity
The Divinity series is highly rated and it's fair to claim it kicked off the modern wave of complex computer role-playing games. These games are known for detailed worlds, player agency, and complex character building—qualities that recently reached new heights in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its universe is classic fantasy, what truly sets Divinity apart is the immense freedom bestowed upon the player.
Where many modern RPGs have pared back options, Divinity is brimming with niche playthroughs you can achieve if you're playing as a distinct build with a unique decision path.
The series is also famously flexible, enabling players to experiment both in story and combat. Most missions can be completed in a variety of manners, often in lateral fashion.

A New Chapter Begins
It is precisely these elements that lead fans and critics to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as a top-tier role-playing games ever made. Now, fans can anticipate a new entry in this legendary franchise.
