Larian Studios Forums Divinity General Discussion Divinity - General Discussion

So, if you’ve been tuned into the Game Awards 2025, you might’ve just caught a lil Larian something or other. Like the reveal trailer for Divinity, the next RPG from Larian Studios, set in the world of Rivellon.

Watch the trailer in 4K here:

No, your eyes have not betrayed you. We’re hyperventilating too.

I love you guys!!!!!!!! Woohoo!!!!! More Divinity!!!!! Can't wait!! Thank you.

Neat. I do love the Divinity games.

Interesting that this if the next game you guys are making though, didn't Sven mention the next game wasn't Divinity? Either way, I'm not upset.

Can't wait to get some more details about it though. Especially gameplay related things.

I'll be interested to see where in Rivellon's timeline this game will take place. Also, looking forward to everything the team is going to put into this game, hope this stays in the oven a nice long time, so you can make another great classic.

I did not have a Bacchanalian festival including a woman having sex with a lizard while a nearby man self-flagellates while a small child claps and laughs at a bearded man being burned alive on my Game Awards Bingo Card.

Those were some very visceral images.
Well done!

Oh, my! So excited!

Taril, I think that they said that they weren't making DOS 3, not that they weren't making a Divinity game.

I recall them saying they were working on other titles and after those they'd be making a Divinity game.

But maybe I'm just misremembering and they were being more specific about not making an "Original Sin" Divinity game.

Though if that's the case, I really want to know if this is going to be an ARPG like the very old Divinity games and that is the reason for this specification (As well as comments like it being "Familiar, but different")

I'm very excited too! I think now would be a good time to play DOS1, I've had it in my library untouched for way too long.

I do look forward to reading the Gazette, I've missed it.^^

Yeah, me too! it's either Before all the other games or the Latest game. My bet - as of now - is that this is the latest in the timeline perhaps, because we destroyed the Seven Gods (Eternals). But maybe the God King left some embers of his essence behind in the Void or Hell or somewhere. Regardless, yess!! bring it! I'm ready for Early Access and everything.

After BG3 I will wait and see, both because of the release quality and to see if its a deep game or just a shallow romfantasy waifu game like BG3.

The trailer definitely was something.

I think it will split the fanbase probably and its a good thing for kindling a long lasting discussion. Divinity has always been a very brutal, gory and violent game (Kniles the Flenser from DOS immediately comes to mind for example), yet the series hasn't really received a high enough level of promotional material to depict this violence in, not a stylized, but a truly horrifying way.

I have trust in Larian and looking forward to more details.
I am very happy to see another entry in the series!

I couldn't care about the Rivellon timeline if someone was giving me money to pay more attention to it.

"More Rivellon" is already a half-disappointment in itself as far as I'm concerned, but it is what it is.
I'm more interested in how the game is going to look and play at this point.

I'll also say that I wasn't too thrilled about the trailer. Sorry for being the one Debbie Downer in the thread so far, but I honestly found it gross and in poor taste.

The forum header image still links to baldursgate3.game.

And they return! Bigger, nastier, sexier. Now bring on the narrative and magic. Love you Larian!

It would appear to be set prior to other games due to the presence of orcs.

Beyond that, it seems people are speculating links to Braccus Rex, with iconography on the shields and the whole crown thing on the burning dude.

Oh, this looks amazing! I can't wait to try it ^^

Rivellon and Divinity universe are much better playground for fresh ideas than BG3 which's been held back by DnD lore and systems. I mean, creating something flawless in not Larian's strong suit, but flawed and memorable - sure is. And considering this, what did you expect, to be now disappointed? Larian only lowkey worked with 2 IPs in the past, if we disregard non-important stuff.

I hoped for a new IP, indeed.

But as I said, it is what it is. I'm not going to begrudge the studio for continuing in an attempt to expand on it.
i'm more interested (and potentially worried) on how the game is going to play.


I hope they'll stick to turn-based combat, for a start, since that's the area where they tend to do best.
I also hope they won't go back to bullcrap like randomized loot/itemization and will stick with the handplaced one.

I mean, they quite literally did state they are working on a brand new IP.

Which they presumably still are (They mentioned that they've grown to a size where they're now doing multi-game development) working on a new IP alongside this Divinity title.

This announcement either means they're prioritizing one game with the majority of the resources and the other is just getting smaller development until this one is finished (Possibly using it as a way to avoid burnout, allowing developers to swap to something different for a while - Which might help address issues like the lackluster Act 3's in their games)... Or they're working on them both equally but as Divinity is an actually known IP they're using it to build hype.

And they also quite literally showed and announced a game in the same old one so far, so what I'm supposed to comment on?

They'll also grow to the size where they realize they were being once again a bit over-ambitious and will have to put the second project on hold to focus all available manpower on the main one?
We'll see.
