The Baldur's Gate 3 Creators Unveil a Fresh Divinity, Labeling it Their Largest RPG to Date
The anticipation about this year's gaming ceremony reached a fever pitch, especially after host Geoff Keighley posted a mysterious photo of a desert monolith. The mystery has now been solved. Larian Studios is creating a brand-new Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was debuted with a bold trailer featuring striking imagery, from a burning man to an orgy and the literal opening of infernal gates.
