Divinity: Release date speculation and what to expect from Larian’s next game

by

Following the huge success of Baldur’s Gate 3 in 2023, Larian Studios has revealed its next project: a brand new Divinity game. This RPG isn’t connected to any previous Divinity titles, including the popular Original Sin games, and is described as Larian’s most ambitious and graphic game yet.

Although we’ve only seen a short preview, we’ve learned some background information about the intriguing statue featured at the trailer’s end, which was used to build excitement for the announcement.

Here is when we may see Divinity release and what you can expect from it.

Divinity release date speculation

We don’t have a release date for Divinity yet, but considering Larian Studios is making their most ambitious game ever – and Baldur’s Gate 3 just came out two and a half years ago – 2028 or 2029 seems like the earliest possible timeframe.

Although the studio has significantly increased its team size, Larian’s past success indicates they won’t hurry the development of their next big RPG. Considering the game hasn’t been announced for any specific platforms yet, and the initial trailer was purely cinematic, it seems Divinity is still quite a ways from release – it could even be one of the first games designed for the next generation of consoles and PCs.

Larian Studios will likely take a break from major announcements for a bit, but we can anticipate hearing updates about their next game, Divinity, sometime in 2026 or 2027, potentially including a more specific release timeframe.

What to expect from Divinity

Larian Studios is aiming to deliver an RPG unlike anything they’ve created before, with a scope and complexity that surpasses their previous work. This is a big claim, and according to Sven Vincke, the studio’s founder and game director, they intend to deliver on it.

Even though we’ve been making games for a long time, this is our first one called ‘Divinity.’ We’re excited to combine everything we’ve learned to create something truly special – a game with a bigger scope, more detail, and a more personal experience than we’ve ever done before. We’ve been working towards this for years, and we finally have the freedom to make the ‘Divinity’ game we’ve always envisioned. We think you’re going to love it!

From what I’m seeing, the next game is really leaning into letting me make choices that matter. I’m talking way more character customization, the ability to build my character exactly how I want, and a story that feels truly shaped by my decisions – even more than Baldur’s Gate 3 let me do. It sounds like I’ll really be able to forge my own path.

According to Larian’s Michael Douse, the strange statue seen in the trailer is called the Hellstone. It seems to be a significant piece of the game’s story and could be related to a festival or tradition. For now, details are limited and much of this is just speculation, so we’ll need to wait for Larian to share more information.

We will keep this article updated as new information arrives.
