Revealed to be Divinity, the game was showcased with a bold trailer packed with striking imagery, from a burning man to scenes of revelry and the literal descent into chaos.
Not the Expected Sequel
Anyone hoping for Divinity Original Sin 3, that is not happening. The studio stated ahead of time that a third Original Sin game to its venerated RPGs is not being worked on now.
