Larian Studios has officially announced the next installment in the beloved Divinity series during The Game Awards 2025, following the outstanding success of Baldur's Gate 3. The game promises to be a grand turn-based RPG, building upon the lore of the Divinity universe. In an interview, Swen Vincke, the studio's founder, expressed that the decision to return to Divinity was instinctual, based on a deep desire from the team to create a game set in a universe they intimately understand. The development team has already been hard at work for over two years and is now in full production, aiming to elevate storytelling through cinematic choices, similar to what was achieved in Baldur's Gate 3. Vincke highlighted that the new game will be larger in scope than both Baldur's Gate 3 and Divinity: Original Sin 2. As they refine the game, the team is eager to innovate without losing the essence that resonated with players in previous titles.

What can players expect from the new Divinity game?

Players can anticipate a grander scale than both Baldur's Gate 3 and Original Sin 2. The game will introduce a strong focus on a cohesive universe, cinematic storytelling, more agency and freedom in gameplay, and a return to the beloved mechanics that allow players to approach challenges creatively.

The Divinity series has been influential in the development of the CRPG genre and has garnered a loyal fanbase since its inception. Larian Studios gained massive recognition with Divinity: Original Sin and further solidified their reputation with the critically acclaimed Baldur's Gate 3. This next installment aims to leverage lessons learned from previous games while expanding the universe and gameplay mechanics, promising an exciting experience for fans old and new alike.
