The buzz surrounding the recent awards show has been intense, particularly after presenter Geoff Keighley shared an enigmatic image of a desert monolith. The mystery has been revealed. The acclaimed developer is creating a completely new Divinity game.

A Different Direction
Anyone expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. The studio warned that a third Original Sin game to its beloved RPGs is not currently in development.
