Game developer Larian Studios, most notable for developing 2023’s award-winning Baldur’s Gate III, announced a new entry in the Divinity series during The Game Awards earlier tonight. While details are scarce, the upcoming role-playing game, simply titled Divinity, aims to offer an even larger adventure than the latest Baldur’s Gate release. The cinematic trailer, which showcases a festival of drunken dancing, orgies, and cult-like imagery, ends in a dramatic fashion as the raucous crowd sees a man burned alive inside a giant wicker statue, gruesomely transforming into a monolith called The Hellstone.
Divinity – Cinematic Announcement Trailer:
While no further details are available, Divinity marks Larian’s return to its own intellectual property after it previously announced its departure from Wizards of the Coast’s Dungeons & Dragons license. Former Game Informer editor Daniel Tack praised Divinity: Original Sin 2, the series’ last entry, as “one of the greatest PC RPGs of all time” when it released in 2017.
