The anticipation about this year's gaming ceremony reached a fever pitch, notably after host Geoff Keighley shared an enigmatic photo of a desert monolith. The secret has now been solved. The acclaimed developer is developing a brand-new Divinity game.
Revealed to be Divinity, the game was showcased with a audacious trailer packed with memorable imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the very unleashing of hell.
Not the Expected Sequel
For those hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. The studio stated ahead of time that a third Original Sin game to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not on the cards right now.

A New Chapter Begins
It is these creative systems that have cemented the series to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as one of the best role-playing games of all time. Now, the RPG community can look forward to more where that came from in this legendary franchise.
