Moving Beyond Original Sin
Anyone hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, prepare for a surprise. Larian clarified that a follow-up to its venerated RPGs is not currently in development.

What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is highly rated and many say it kicked off the recent resurgence of deep computer role-playing games. These games are defined by detailed worlds, choice-driven narratives, and deep class systems—qualities that recently reached new heights in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its world is traditional swords and sorcery, what makes Divinity apart is the unprecedented level of trust bestowed upon the player.
Where many modern RPGs have pared back options, Divinity is brimming with unique possibilities you can achieve with a specific type of character with a unique decision path.
