Trademarks for the Divinity franchise have surfaced in Europe, fueling speculation about a potential announcement at The Game Awards linked to a mysterious statue. Larian Studios quickly addressed the buzz, confirming no plans for Divinity: Original Sin 3. A leak instead points to a PS5 Definitive Edition of Divinity: Original Sin 2.
Trademarks related to the Divinity series have emerged online, drawing attention just before The Game Awards. These filings, spotted by the site mp1st, include a logo and two icons registered in Europe. One design features a glowing orb atop spindly legs, which closely matches a demonic statue in the Mojave Desert tied to Game Awards host Geoff Keighley.
Speculation Around a New Game
The discovery prompted fans to theorize about an upcoming reveal of Divinity: Original Sin 3 during the awards show. The series, known for its deep RPG mechanics, has built a dedicated following since its start with Divine Divinity in 2002, accumulating seven main entries over the years.
Larian's Clarification
Larian Studios' director of publishing, Michael Douse, responded on social media to temper expectations. "There aren't currently any plans for a new Divinity: Original Sin 3 game but once we are ready to show what we've been working on we will," he wrote. This statement came amid a separate leak about a Definitive Edition of Divinity: Original Sin 2 for PS5, the studio's 2017 title that laid groundwork for later successes like Baldur's Gate 3. Douse added lightly, "Hey we weren't meant to announce that yet."
Looking Ahead
Larian CEO Swen Vincke has described the studio's next project as familiar in spirit but innovative in tone and style, explicitly ruling out Baldur's Gate 4 or Dungeons & Dragons ties. While the trademarks' exact purpose remains unclear—possibly linked to the new edition or something else—a return to the Divinity universe seems plausible. With Baldur's Gate 3's acclaim still fresh, Larian's future endeavors carry significant anticipation.
