Not the Expected Sequel
For those expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. Larian warned that a third Original Sin game to its venerated RPGs is not being worked on now.

What Makes Divinity Special
The Divinity series is widely praised and many say it sparked the contemporary revival of complex computer role-playing games. These games are known for rich lore, branching plots, and deep class systems—elements that recently reached new heights in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its universe is familiar fare, what really distinguishes Divinity apart is the unprecedented level of trust given to the player.
While numerous modern RPGs have streamlined options, Divinity is packed with niche playthroughs you can achieve if you're playing as a particular class or origin with a unique decision path.
The series is also notoriously open-ended, enabling players to improvise throughout the entire experience. Nearly every quest can be solved in a variety of manners, frequently in surprising fashion.
- You might find an answer because you remembered something a dog told you.
- Or, you could overcome an obstacle by using the world itself in a unorthodox way.
More to Come
It is precisely these elements that have cemented the series to label games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as one of the best role-playing games of all time. Now, players can anticipate another adventure in this esteemed franchise.
