Baldur’s Gate 3 Developer Larian Studios Announces New Divinity Game

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.

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.
