Larian Studios (Baldur’s Gate 3) presents the game with which it hopes to repeat its GOTY success: Divinity returns

The mystery of the statue in the desert has been solved: it’s Larian Studios with its legendary saga. Divinity returns with a very, very gory trailer. They’ve left no stone unturned in showcasing their next big role-playing game. We’ll find out more about it soon. Will it be an action RPG? Will they return to turn-based combat? We’ll see.

Is the Divinity saga worth it?

Yes, a thousand times yes. It is the cornerstone on which Larian Studios built its reputation as one of the most influential studios in the RPG genre. From its earliest installments, the saga opted for a deep narrative and a gameplay system that combined exploration, turn-based combat, and absolute freedom for the player. At a time when Western RPGs tended to simplify their mechanics, Divinity kept the classic essence alive, continued to preserve its depth, and offered worlds rich in detail with decisions that really mattered.

With Divinity: Original Sin and its sequel, Larian not only revitalized the series, but also redefined the standard for turn-based role-playing games. The combat system, interaction with the environment, and the possibility of cooperative play marked a turning point. These installments proved that RPGs could be complex and accessible at the same time, winning over both veterans of the genre and new players. Furthermore, their commercial success opened the door for Larian to take on even more ambitious projects such as Baldur’s Gate 3.

But as we say, Divinity’s importance goes beyond its mechanics. Its games are a statement of principles about how to tell stories in the medium. Every dialogue and every choice reinforces the idea that the player is the true protagonist of the narrative. A philosophy that many still envy and that should serve as the basis for all RPGs.
