The buzz about this year's gaming ceremony reached a fever pitch, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley shared an enigmatic image of a desert monolith. The mystery has now been solved. The acclaimed developer is developing a fresh Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was debuted with a audacious trailer featuring intense imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the very unleashing of hell.
Moving Beyond Original Sin
Anyone anticipating Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. Larian stated ahead of time that a follow-up to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not being worked on now.
However, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a next chapter of the core franchise.

At this moment, this is speculation, as only a announcement clip is available.
The Legacy of Divinity
