The Game Awards 2025, known as the Oscars of the gaming world, was full of surprises this year as well. However, the biggest mystery of the night began with the appearance of a “demonic monolith” statue in the Mojave Desert days before the ceremony. Internet detectives followed these clues, and they proved correct, with Larian Studios officially announcing its return to the Divinity series with a new game.
The Mystery in the Mojave Desert Solved
Larian Studios, which revolutionized the RPG genre with Baldur’s Gate 3, had previously stated that its next project would not be Baldur’s Gate 4. It was predicted that the studio would return to its own brand, the Divinity series. The cinematic trailer released during the ceremony confirmed these predictions. The game, which will be the seventh in the series, managed to captivate with its atmosphere, even though it doesn’t yet have a number.

The released trailer has a completely cinematic narrative and sets the tone for the game. However, Larian CEO Swen Vincke’s statement from last year – “Our next project will be very big, it needs time to bake” – comes to mind. This suggests the game is still in the early stages of development.
The timing of the announcement is quite significant. Having developed Baldur’s Gate 3 with players for years through “Early Access,” Larian may follow a similar path for the new Divinity game. The studio is known to be currently expanding its team. This announcement could be a strategic move to attract talented developers and excite the player community in advance.
So, what do you think about Larian Studios returning to its own universe, Divinity? Do you believe it will be a game of Baldur’s Gate 3 quality? Share your thoughts in the comments!
