The buzz around this year's gaming ceremony was significant, notably after host Geoff Keighley posted a mysterious photo of a strange statue. The secret has now been solved. Larian Studios is developing a fresh Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was presented with a daring trailer featuring striking imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the very opening of infernal gates.
Moving Beyond Original Sin
For those hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. Larian warned that a third Original Sin game to its critically acclaimed RPGs is not on the cards right now.
However, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a continuation of the main series.

At this moment, this is speculation, as only a cinematic trailer is available.
