Larian Studios has officially revealed its next project, simply titled 'Divinity', at The Game Awards, following a series of intriguing clues and a trademark leak. The announcement came with a chilling cinematic trailer showcasing a medieval festival with dark undertones, featuring a giant wicker effigy, inside which a man is seen suffering as he is burned. The trailer hints at a sinister turn of events, with bizarre plant life sprouting and chaos ensuing. This new installment does not continue the 'Divinity: Original Sin' series but instead marks a return to the original 'Divinity' games established back in 2002.

The franchise has evolved significantly over the years, with previous titles like 'Divine Divinity' and 'Beyond Divinity', paving the way for the more recent successes of 'Divinity: Original Sin' and 'Divinity: Original Sin 2', both of which received critical acclaim. Given Larian's track record, particularly with 'Baldur’s Gate 3', anticipation is high surrounding this new direction for the 'Divinity' series.

What are the differences between 'Divinity' and 'Divinity: Original Sin'?

'Divinity' is characterized as an action RPG unlike its successor 'Divinity: Original Sin', which features a turn-based combat system. This shift in gameplay style will likely redefine how players engage with the narrative and mechanics in the new 'Divinity' title.
